* make sure the tree is up to date and everything builds.

 * create the extlibs and extperl tarballs (remove the CVS directory)

 * do a full checkout of the tree in a new directory, and make a complete installation to a new psconfig target

 psconfig ipp-new
 cd ipp/psconfig
 psbuild -dev -extbuild

 * make sure ippdb has been built and checked in (''we need to define a consistent policy for release numbers in ippdb'')

  cd ipp/dbconfig
  make src
  cd ../ippdb
  cvs up (etc)

 * set the tags on the rest of the tree:

  psdist -tag branch ipp-2.5
  psdist -tag rev ipp-2.5

 * build the tarball based on the tags

  psdist -dist tarball ipp-2.5

 * test the distribution (the directory used to build the tarball will be left behind in psconfig)

  ln -s ../../extlibs .
  ln -s ../../extperl .
  cd ipp-2.5/psconfig
  psconfig ipp-2.5-test
  psbuild -extbuild

 * place the tarballs in the web directory (software/bundles) and update software/index.tt

  * cp tarballs/ipp-2.5.tgz /home/kiawe/eugene/doc/panstarrs/IPP-www-bundles/ipp-2.6.tgz
  * rsync /home/kiawe/eugene/doc/panstarrs/IPP-www-bundles/ panstarrs:/www/html/project/IPP/software/bundles/
  * cd /home/kiawe/eugene/doc/panstarrs/IPP-www
  * up 
  * edit software/index.tt
  * ci, etc

In the past, it was necessary to set the tags on Ohana by hand, as described below.

 * set the tags for Ohana (this has to be done by Gene until Ohana is moved under the panstarrs CVS)

 cd elixir/ohana
 cvs tag -b ipp-2-5 
 cvs up -r ipp-2-5
 cvs tag ipp-2-5-0

 * update the Ohana cvs to the panstarrs cvs:

  (on alala as eugene) : rsync.external.cvs
