 ### Notes about preparing a release for the monkeysphere ###
 
- * make sure that packaging/debian/changelog has a reasonable version
-   number.
+ * make sure that changelog and packaging/debian/changelog both have
+   reasonable version numbers.
+
+ * have the monkeysphere archive signing key handy!
 
  * make tarball
 
  * make releasenote
 
+ * commit outstanding changes.
+
  * create upstream version tag: 
 
     git tag -s -m 'Tagging Monkeysphere $whatever' monkeysphere_$whatever
 
+ * run commands from make debian-package by hand (?) so that it
+   doesn't trigger another tarball rebuild.  Make sure the package
+   passes lintian checks, installs, upgrades, removes reasonably, etc.
+
+ * debsign -k$GPGID *.changes
+
  * create debian-specific version tag:
 
     git tag -s -m 'Tagging Monkeysphere $whatever-1' monkeysphere_$whatever-1
 
+ * upload to monkeysphere repo:
+
+    cd repo && reprepro --ignore=wrongdistribution include experimental ../*.changes
+
+ * push git changes (including tags!)
+
  * update FreeBSD and Macports info:
 
     make freebsd-distinfo
