-This document is a work-in-progress to describe the workflow through the various
-parts of genkernel so that we can split the code into modular chunks.  If you
-are interested in helping with genkernel development, please get in touch at
-<genkernel@gentoo.org>.
-
-Phases:
-
-- read configs
-- source global scripts
-- 
-
-Testing things:
-  $ cd genkernel
-  $ sudo GK_SHARE="$PWD" ./genkernel initramfs --no-install --no-postclear --loglevel=2
-
-Rolling a release:
-- Bump the version in the main genkernel file.
-- git commit -s -a -m "Bump version to ${PV}"
-- make dist
-- git tag -s -a -m "Tag release v${PV}" v${PV}
-- git push ${REMOTE} master --tags
-- upload genkernel-${PV}.tar.bz2 to the hosting:
-    scp genkernel-${PV}.tar.bz2 ${USER}@dev.gentoo.org:/space/distfiles-local/
-- copy to portage's DISTDIR so you can bump the ebuild
-  before the tarball hits distfile mirrors
-  - cp genkernel-${PV}.tar.bz2 /usr/portage/distfiles/
-- Bump the ebuild
-- Propagate ebuild changes to the live ebuild
-    diff genkernel-${OLD_PV}.ebuild genkernel-${NEW_PV}.ebuild | patch genkernel-9999.ebuild
-- check open bugs with keyword "InSVN" or "InVCS" for closability
-  and close these bugs with a comment like "Fixed in ${PV}, just released.  Closing."
-- Send a mail with subject "genkernel ${PV} released" to both
-  <gentoo-genkernel@lists.gentoo.org> and <genkernel@gentoo.org>.
-  Use
-
-    PREV_TAG=$(git tag -l | tail -n 2 | head -n 1)
-    git diff ${PREV_TAG}..v${PV} ChangeLog | /bin/grep '^+\($\|  \)' | sed 's|^+ *||' | xsel
