How to release kipi & co.
----------------------------------------
1. Release libkipi

1. Release libkipi
 a) Update release info
    libkipi/libkipi.lsm
    libkipi/libkipi/version.h
    libkipi/libkipi.pc.in

    To do that you can use the "prepare_libkipi.rb" script, change the 
    release version ("version" and "version_n" fields) and run it.
    Don't forget to commit your changes :)

 b) Update Changelog
    - to do that use the "release_kipi_changelog.sh" script
      release_kipi_changelog.sh libkipi oldest-revision-or-date new-release-version
    - edit Changelog and modify the wrong lines (if any)
    - Commit your changes

 c) Build the source tarball
    - use the "release_libkipi.rb"
      edit the script and change the "version" field
      if you're releasing an svn snapshot set "usesvnver" to "yes"
      run it and get libkipiXXX.tar.bz2

 d) Uncompress and test the tarball
    - check if all the files are right in
    - check if the file RELEASE.rev is in and with the right revision number
    - check if it builds correctly.

 e) Upload tarball for testing 
    Before an official release upload the tarball for testing used sites are
