+## Releasing
+
+* Make sure https://github.com/github/hub is installed and configured.
+* Make sure the `ChangeLog` is up to date.
+* Run `dev-bin/release.sh`
+
+## Ubuntu PPA packages
+
+0. Switch to the `ubuntu-ppa` branch and merge the release tag from above.
+
+Release script:
+
+1. run `dev-bin/ppa-release.sh`
+
+Manual PPA process:
+
+1. Type `dch -i` and add the appropriate `debian/changelog` entry.
+2. Move tarball created above to a temp directory and
+   name it `geoip_1.?.?.orig.tar.gz`.
+3. Unpack tarball.
+4. Copy `debian` directory from Git. (We intentionally do not include it in
+   the tarball so that we don't interfere with Debian's packaging.)
+5. Update `debian/changelog` for the dist you are releasing to, e.g.,
+   precise, trusty, vivid, and prefix the version with the a `~` followed
+   by the dist name, e.g., `1.6.3-1+maxmind1~trusty`.
+6. Run `debuild -S -sa -rfakeroot -k<KEY>`. (The key may not be necessary
+   if your .bashrc is appropriately )
+7. Run `lintian` to make sure everything looks sane.
+8. Run `dput ppa:maxmind/ppa ../<source.changes files created above>` to
+   upload.
+9. Repeat 4-8 for remaining distributions.
+
