-Gavin's notes on getting gitian builds up and running using KVM:
-
-These instructions distilled from:
-  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation
-... see there for complete details.
-
-You need the right hardware: you need a 64-bit-capable CPU with hardware virtualization support (Intel VT-x or AMD-V). Not all modern CPUs support hardware virtualization.
-
-You probably need to enable hardware virtualization in your machine's BIOS.
-
-You need to be running a recent version of 64-bit-Ubuntu, and you need to install several prerequisites:
-  sudo apt-get install ruby apache2 git apt-cacher-ng python-vm-builder qemu-kvm
-
-Sanity checks:
-  sudo service apt-cacher-ng status   # Should return apt-cacher-ng is running
-  ls -l /dev/kvm   # Should show a /dev/kvm device
-
-
-Once you've got the right hardware and software:
-
-    git clone git://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
-    git clone git://github.com/devrandom/gitian-builder.git
-    mkdir gitian-builder/inputs

-gitian-builder now also supports building using LXC. See
-  https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/lxc.html
-... for how to get LXC up and running under Ubuntu.
-
-If your main machine is a 64-bit Mac or PC with a few gigabytes of memory
-and at least 10 gigabytes of free disk space, you can gitian-build using
-LXC running inside a virtual machine.
-
-Here's a description of Gavin's setup on OSX 10.6:
-
-1. Download and install VirtualBox from https://www.virtualbox.org/
-
-2. Download the 64-bit Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS .iso CD image from
-  http://www.ubuntu.com/
-
-3. Run VirtualBox and create a new virtual machine, using the
-  Ubuntu .iso (see the VirtualBox documentation for details).
-  Create it with at least 2 gigabytes of memory and a disk
-  that is at least 20 gigabytes big.
-
-4. Inside the running Ubuntu desktop, install:
-  sudo apt-get install debootstrap lxc ruby apache2 git apt-cacher-ng python-vm-builder
-
-5. Still inside Ubuntu, tell gitian-builder to use LXC, then follow the "Once you've got the right
-  hardware and software" instructions above:
-  export USE_LXC=1
-  git clone git://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
-  ... etc

+Release Process
+====================
+
+* update translations (ping wumpus, Diapolo or tcatm on IRC)
+* see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/translation_process.md#syncing-with-transifex
+
+* * *
+
+###update (commit) version in sources
+
+	doc/README*
+	src/clientversion.h (change CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE to true)
+
+###tag version in git
+
+	git tag -s v(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
+
+###write release notes. git shortlog helps a lot, for example:
+
+	git shortlog --no-merges v(current version, e.g. 0.7.2)..v(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
+
+* * *
+
+###perform gitian builds
+
+ From a directory containing the twister source, gitian-builder and gitian.sigs
+  
+#	export SIGNER=(your gitian key, ie bluematt, sipa, etc)
+	export VERSION=(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
+	pushd ./twister-core
+	git checkout v${VERSION}
+	popd
+	pushd ./gitian-builder
+
+###fetch and build inputs: (first time, or when dependency versions change)
+ 
+	mkdir -p inputs; cd inputs/
+
+ Register and download the Apple SDK: (see OSX Readme for details)
+ 
+ https://developer.apple.com/downloads/download.action?path=Developer_Tools/xcode_4.6.3/xcode4630916281a.dmg
+ 
+ Using a Mac, create a tarball for the 10.7 SDK and copy it to the inputs directory:
+ 
+	tar -C /Volumes/Xcode/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/ -czf MacOSX10.7.sdk.tar.gz MacOSX10.7.sdk
