+
+   - Fix the RPM issues.
+   - Re-release RPMs according to the "Creating RPM Packages" section (this
+     will increase the RPM release number).
+   - Commit the changes to the .spec file using the following commit message:
+     "Spec for release X.Y.Z-N."
+
+   Note that the RPM re-release step doesn't involve rebuilding or ZIP
+   re-generation.
