+Making "Official" (Non-Snapshot) Releases
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When you make an official release, creating source or binary distributions,
+you will need to override the tag settings from ``setup.cfg``, so that you
+don't end up registering versions like ``foobar-0.7a1.dev-r34832``.  This is
+easy to do if you are developing on the trunk and using tags or branches for
+your releases - just make the change to ``setup.cfg`` after branching or
+tagging the release, so the trunk will still produce development snapshots.
+
+Alternately, if you are not branching for releases, you can override the
+default version options on the command line, using something like::
+
+    python setup.py egg_info -RDb "" sdist bdist_egg register upload
+
+The first part of this command (``egg_info -RDb ""``) will override the
+configured tag information, before creating source and binary eggs, registering
+the project with PyPI, and uploading the files.  Thus, these commands will use
+the plain version from your ``setup.py``, without adding the Subversion
+revision number or build designation string.
+
+Of course, if you will be doing this a lot, you may wish to create a personal
+alias for this operation, e.g.::
+
+    python setup.py alias -u release egg_info -RDb ""
+
+You can then use it like this::
+
+    python setup.py release sdist bdist_egg register upload
+
+Or of course you can create more elaborate aliases that do all of the above.
+See the sections below on the `egg_info`_ and `alias`_ commands for more ideas.
