actual release. If you need another release candidate, remember
to adjust the ChangeLog entries.
If you need to change only a file(s) that cannot possibly affect
the build (README, ChangeLog, NEWS, etc.) then rather than doing
an entirely new build, it is better to unpack the existing
tarfile, modify the file(s), and tar it back up again.
Never replace an existing tarfile! If you need to fix something,
always upload it with a different name.

of past announcements. The first pretest announcement, and the
release announcement, should have more detail.
12. For a release, update the Emacs homepage emacs.html in the web repository.
Also update history.html, and add the new NEWS file as news/NEWS.xx.y.
Regenerate the html manuals (use make-manuals from admin.el).
If there are new manuals, add appropriate index pages.
Delete any old manual pages that are no longer present.
12. After a release, update the Emacs pages as below.
UPDATING THE EMACS WEB PAGES AFTER A RELEASE
As soon as possible after a release, the Emacs web pages should be updated.
Anyone with write access to the Emacs code repository can do this.
For instructions, see <http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=emacs>.
Changes go live more or less as soon as they are committed.
The pages to update are:
emacs.html (for a new major release, a more thorough update is needed)
history.html
add the new NEWS file as news/NEWS.xx.y
Use M-x make-manuals from admin/admin.el to regenerate the html
manuals in manual/. If there are new manuals, add appropriate index
pages in manual/ and add them to manual/index.html. In the
manual/html_node directory, delete any old manual pages that are no
longer present.
Tar up the generated html_node/emacs/ and elisp/ directories and update
the files manual/elisp.html_node.tar.gz and emacs.html_node.tar.gz.
Use M-x make-manuals-dist from from admin/admin.el to update the
manual/texi/ tarfiles.
Add compressed copies of the main info pages from the tarfile to manual/info/.
Update the refcards/pdf/ and ps/ directories, and also
refcards/emacs-refcards.tar.gz (use make -C etc/refcards pdf ps dist).
Browsing <http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/?root=emacs> is one
way to check for any files that still need updating.
