      This HOWTO describes good release practices for
       Linuxopen-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. Experienceddevelopers 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.
