check copyright years in project-wide stuff
make sure you're in a build tree that's not the source tree and configured using --enable-maintainer-mode
make depend and commit if changed
regenerate manpages: (cd man && make man) and commit if changed
regenerate localization template (cd po && make update-po) and commit if changed
manually edit patchlevel.h to reflect the new release
manually update README
- dates
- changes
- contributors
make additional manpage and update-po commits with updated patchlevel.h
squash preceding commits so all versioning-related commits are a single commit (non-versioning changes should remain separate commits)
git tag krb5-x.y.z-final

path_to_mkrel/mkrel --repository $YOUR_SOURCE_TREE krb5-x.y.z-final krb5-x.y.z
manually inspect output for versioning and correctness
- HTML docs
- PDF docs
- patchlevel.h as modified by mkrel
push to authoritative repository
rerun mkrel against the authoritative repository: path_to_mkrel/mkrel krb5-x.y.z-final krb5-x.y.z
