 Follow these steps to release a new version of libdrm:
 
-  1) Bump the version number in configure.ac and meson.build. We seem
-     to have settled for 2.4.x as the versioning scheme for libdrm, so
-     just bump the  micro version.
-
-  2) Run autoconf and then re-run ./configure so the build system
-     picks up the new version number.
-
-  3) Verify that the code passes "make distcheck".  Running "make
-     distcheck" should result in no warnings or errors and end with a
-     message of the form:
-
-	=============================================
-	libdrm-X.Y.Z archives ready for distribution:
-	libdrm-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
-	libdrm-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2
-	=============================================
-
-     Make sure that the version number reported by distcheck and in
-     the tarball names matches the number you bumped to in configure.ac.

   4) Push the updated master branch with the bumped version number:
