-# Make a release of hdf5. The command-line switches are:
+# Make a release of hdf5.
#
-# -d DIR The name of the directory where the releas(es) should be
-# placed. By default, the directory is ./releases
-#
-# --nocheck Ignore errors in MANIFEST file.
-#
-# --private Make a private release with today's date in version information.
-#
-# The other command-line options are the names of the programs to use
-# for compressing the resulting tar archive (if none are given then
-# `tar md5' is assumed):
-#
-# tar -- use tar and don't do any compressing.
-# compress -- use compress and append `.Z' to the output name.
-# gzip -- use gzip with `-9' and append `.gz' to the output name.
-# bzip2 -- use bzip2 with `-9' and append `.bz2' to the output name.
-# md5 -- produce a md5 checksum in addition to the archive.
-# doc -- produce the latest doc tree in addition to the archive.

-# Examples:
-#
-# $ release
-# releases/hdf5-1.0.38.tar
-# releases/hdf5-1.0.38.tar.md5
