Most linux projects follow a similar release process, and to illustrate that, I will specifically describe the FSlint release process as depicted in the diagram above. Following is a presentation of the actual shell commands I run on my system to affect the releases to the various distributions. It's worth noting here that the config files used to create the packages for the linux distributions are maintained within the source tree of the FSlint project itself. However these config files are not included in the released source packages so that any changes specific to the distribution packages can be done independently of FSlint releases.
