+===================
+  Release Process
+===================
+
+1. Build environment
+====================
+
+There are multiple build envrionments, debian based packages are built via pbuilder for multiple distributions.  The build hosts are deb_host, and the list of distributions is deb_dist.  All distributions are build on each of the build hosts.  Currently there is 1 64 bit and 1 32 bit build host.
+
+The rpm based packages are are built natively, so 1 distribution per build host.  The list of rpm_build hosts is found in rpm_hosts.
+
+Prior to building, it's necessorary to update the pbuilder seed tarballs.  The update_all_pbuilder scripts is used for this.
+
+2. Setup keyring for signing packages
+=====================================
+
+    export GNUPGHOME=<path to keyring>
+
+    # verify it's accessible
+    gpg --list-keys
+
+3. Set up build area
+====================
+
+    #checkout ceph and ceph-build
+
+    git clone http://github.com/ceph/ceph.git
+    git clone http://github.com/ceph/ceph-build.git
+
+    #checkout next branch
+
+    git checkout next
+
+     #submodules (only needed to prevent errors in recursive make)
+
+     git submodule init
+     git submodule update
+
+4.  Update Build version numbers
+================================
+
+    edit configure.ac and change version number
+
+    DEBEMAIL user@host dch -v 0.xx-1 
+
+    # commit the changes
+
+    git commit -a 
+
+    # Tag the release 
+
+    ../ceph-build/tag-release v0.xx
+
+5. Create Makefiles
+===================
+
+     ./autogen
+
+     # The actuall configure options used to build packages are in the
+     # ceph.spec.in and debian/rules files.  At this point we just need
+     # to create a Makefile.
+
+     ./configure --with-debug \
+                 --with-radosgw \
+                 --with-fuse \
+                 --with-tcmalloc \
+                 --with-libatomic-ops \
+                 --with-nss \
+                 --without-cryptpp \
+                 --with-gtk2
+
+6. Run the release scripts
+==========================
+
+   This creates tarballs and copies them, with other needed files to
+   the build hosts listed in deb_hosts and rpm_hosts, runs a local build
+   script, then rsyncs the results back tot the specified release directory.
+
+    ../ceph-build/do_release.sh /tmp/release
+
+7. Create RPM Repo
+==================
+
+   Copies the rpms to the destination repo, creates the yum repository
+   rpm and indexes.
+
+   ../ceph-build/push_to_rpm_repo.sh /tmp/release /tmp/repo 0.xx
+
+8. Create debian repo
+=====================
+
+    mkdir /tmp/debian-repo
+    mkdir /tmp/debian-repo/conf
+    ../ceph-build/gen_reprepro_conf.sh debian-testing main \
+                `cat ceph-build/deb_dists`
+    ../ceph-build/push_to_deb_repo.sh  /tmp/release /tmp/debian-repo
+
+9.  Push repos to ceph.org
+==========================
+
+    TBD multiple repos for stable and developement
+
+    rsync -av /tmp/repo/0.52/ ceph_site@ceph.com:ceph.com/rpms
+    rsync -auv /tmp/debian-repo/ ceph_site@ceph.com:ceph.com/debian
+
+10. Update Git
+==============
+
+    Merge work area commits (version number updates and new tag)
+    Move testing tag
+    Move next tag
+
+    TBD stable release and point release
