<ol>
<li>Check out from SVN from the release tag:</li>
: <code>svn co svn+ssh://[url]/svn/tags/Release_X.Y.Z</code>
 
<li>Change to the Release_X.Y.Z directory:</li>
: <code>cd Release_X.Y.Z</code>
 
<li>Rename Scribus directory to scribus-X.Y.Z:</li>
: <code>mv Scribus scribus-X.Y.Z</code>
 
<li>Run the tar process - we need this file for all of the compression types we want so we do this first:</li>
: <code>tar -cvf scribus-X.Y.Z.tar scribus-X.Y.Z/</code>
 
<li>Compress the files:</li>
:XZ: <code>xz -k -e -v -z scribus-X.Y.Z.tar</code>
:7Zip: <code>7z a scribus-X.Y.Z.tar.7z scribus-X.Y.Z.tar</code>
:BZ2: <code>bzip2 -k scribus-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2</code>
:GZ: <code>gzip -c scribus-X.Y.Z.tar > scribus-X.Y.Z.tar.gz</code>
 
<li>GPG Sign the files:</li>
:<code>gpg --default-key <key> --sign --detach-sign --armor scribus-X.Y.Z.tar.7z</code>
:<code>gpg --default-key <key> --sign --detach-sign --armor scribus-X.Y.Z.tar.gz </code>
:<code>gpg --default-key <key> --sign --detach-sign --armor scribus-X.Y.Z.tar.xz </code>
:<code>gpg --default-key <key> --sign --detach-sign --armor scribus-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2 </code>
 
<li>Verify the files:</li>
:<code>gpg --verify scribus-X.Y.Z.tar.7z.asc scribus-X.Y.Z.tar.7z</code>
:<code>gpg --verify scribus-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2.asc scribus-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2</code>
:<code>gpg --verify scribus-X.Y.Z.tar.gz.asc scribus-X.Y.Z.tar.gz</code>
:<code>gpg --verify scribus-X.Y.Z.tar.xz.asc scribus-X.Y.Z.tar.xz</code>
 
<li>Create the new directory on Sourceforge for the X.Y.Z version. Set it to staging:</li>
:Under sftp://frs.sourceforge.net/home/frs/project/s/sc/scribus/scribus/X.Y.Z
:OR
:sftp://frs.sourceforge.net/home/frs/project/s/sc/scribus-devel/scribus/X.Y.Z
 
<li>Upload to SourceForge:</li>
:Select scribus/scribus-devel directories, then the version number:
:Eg to: <code>sftp://frs.sourceforge.net/home/frs/project/s/sc/scribus/scribus/X.Y.Z</code>
:OR
:<code>sftp://frs.sourceforge.net/home/frs/project/s/sc/scribus-devel/scribus/X.Y.Z</code>
