* Build a source tarball
* Check out the branch of the project repository,
If your activity uses bundlebuilder you can use the dist_source command to generate a source tarball. Note, use a clean checkout of the repository - due to how bundlebuilder works at the moment files you would place in the directory e.g. x.patch would be included in the tarball as well.
* Make a source tarball, which for most activities is done by {{Code|bundlebuilder}} via {{Code|setup.py}} and will place the tarball in the {{Code|dist/}} directory:
 
  python setup.py dist_source
  python setup.py dist_source
 
ls -l dist/
The tarball will be generated inside the dist directory.
* Create a git tag to reference the release. The tag name should be in the vXXX form (for example v20).
 
git tag v20
* In git add a tag to reference the release. The tag name should be in the vXXX form (for example v20).
* Test it carefully, to make sure it starts inside Sugar,

* Push the git tag to the project repository,
git push --tags
* Send an announce mail to sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org, with [RELEASE] in the subject. The form will be decided by each maintainer but it should at least include a reference to the source code tarball and an high level, user oriented list of changes.
