Release Process

Steps to release

Here's the list of steps to do a release.

Verify with others on IRC that we're good to go.
Do a git fetch and make sure you have the latest code.
Do a tx pull -a and make sure you have the latest translations.
Run the unit tests: ./runtests.sh If any tests fail, proceed no further!
Update version numbers in these files:
- mediaboglin/_version.py
- docs/source/conf.py
Tag: git tag -a vX.Y.Z
Build the tarfile. ./maketarball.sh -r vX.Y.Z
Push the tarball to the web-site: add tarball to
```
site/static/download/
```
directory in mediagoblin-website repository and then push the site live
