In your source directory, running "make distcheck" should create a  
tarball with the version number defined in your configure.in file.   
(It used to be recommended that you ran "make" and "make install"  
before "make distcheck", but I don't know if that's still required.)

Once the tarball is uploaded, don't forget to tag the CVS source with  
the version you've just created too, e.g. GNOME_MAG_2_15_2.

I'll be uploading my own packages today too, so I can do it if you  
like.  As a maintainer of a core GNOME package, though, you should be  
able to get a shell account set up pretty quickly... have you asked?

Cheeri,
