  - if someone else made changes and the commit fails,
    you have to "svn up" and run the tests again
 
- - once the commit succeeds, "svn cp trunk tags/libsyncml-$MAJOR.$MINJOR.$PATCH"
+ - once the commit succeeds, you have to create a new tag with
+   "mkdir tags/libwbxml-$MAJOR.$MINJOR.$PATCH",
+   "tar -C trunk --exclude=\"\\.svn\" -cf - . | tar -C tags/libwbxml-$MAJOR.$MINJOR.$PATCH -xf -"
+   "svn add tags/libwbxml-$MAJOR.$MINJOR.$PATCH" and
+   "svn commit tags/libwbxml-$MAJOR.$MINJOR.$PATCH"
+   (NEVER use "svn cp" because you must replace the external entities
+   of the trunk directory with hard copies of the actual state.)
 
  - create tarballs with "cmake $SOURCES; make package_source" (out of source build!)
 
- - upload the tarball to releases. make sure the version numbers are the same!
+ - write checksums with md5sum from the tarballs to a file with the
+   same name like the tarballs without the tar and compression suffixes
+   and plus a new suffix md5sum
+   Example:
+     md5sum libsyncml-0.5.0.tar.* > libsyncml-0.5.0.md5sum
+     md5sum -c libsyncml-0.5.0.md5sum
+
+ - upload the tarballs and the checksum file to releases.
+   make sure the version numbers are the same!
 
  - Annouce the release on the mailing list
    Tips: 
      * make diff of the exported symbols "nm -g -P libsyncml.so"
      * read svn log
+     * check trac tickets which are attached to the according milestone
