-# Maintainer tools

-Useful tools for mdadm maintenance:
-- [checkpatch](https://docs.kernel.org/dev-tools/checkpatch.html)
-- [kup](https://korg.docs.kernel.org/kup.html)

-# Making a release
-
-Assuming that maintainer is certain that release is safe, following steps must be done:
-
-- Make and push release commit:
-  - Update versions strings, refer to previous releases for examples.
-  - Update CHANGELOG.md.
-
-- Create GPG signed tag and push it to both remotes. Use same format as was used previously,
-  prefixed by **mdadm-**, e.g. **mdadm-3.1.2**, **mdadm-4.1**.
-
-- Run kernel.org
-  [Auto-publishing](https://korg.docs.kernel.org/kup.html#auto-publishing-with-git-archive-signer):
-
-  Adopt script to our release tag model. When ready, push signed note to kernel.org repository. If
-  it is done correctly, then *(sig)* is added to the package automatically generated by
-  kernel.org automation. There is no need to upload archive manually.
-
-- Add release entry on Github.
-
-- Write "ANNOUNCE" mail to linux-raid@kernel.org to notify community.
