Software release practice HOWTO

"This HOWTO describes good release practices for Linux and other open-source projects. By following these practices, you will make it as easy as
possible for users to build your code and use it, and for other developers to understand your code and cooperate with you to improve it.

This document is a must-read for novice developers. Experienced developers should review it when they are about to release a new project. It will be
revised periodically to reflect the evolution of good-practice standards."
