* Ensure version is incremented in:
  configure.ac
  docsrc/conf.py
  include/sasl.h
  win32/common.mak
  win32/include/config.h

* Add release notes to
  docsrc/sasl/release-notes/2.1/index.rst

* NOCONFIGURE=yes ./autogen.sh
  to generate configure etc

* MUST build with one of the supported database backends:
  bdb gdbm lmdb ndbm
  It is recommended to use lmdb

Generally using Debian or Ubuntu distributions for the compile steps is useful
as they provide both MIT and Heimdal development packages:

  NOTE: Sphinx version 4.4.0 or later is required.  It may be mandatory to install
  it manually via python3-pip:
    pip install -U Sphinx
  OR
    apt install sphinx-common (Documentation)

  Other dependencies:
  apt install libpod-pom-view-restructured-perl (Documentation)
  apt install liblmdb-dev (LMDB backend)
  apt install libkrb5-dev (MIT Kerberos)
  apt install heimdal-dev (Heimdal Kerberos)

* Confirm build compiles with no kerberos support
  ./configure --with-dblib=lmdb
  make

* Confirm build compiles with MIT kerberos support
  LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mit-krb5/" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/mit-krb5" ./configure --with-dblib=lmdb
  make

* Confirm build compiles with Heimdal kerberos support
  LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/heimdal/" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/heimdal" ./configure --with-dblib=lmdb
  make

* If possible, build on a non-Linux OS such as FreeBSD
  NOTE: Currently FreeBSD has ndbm installed as an alternative
        to test with rather than LMDB
  pkg install openssl
  pkg install heimdal

  git tag -a -s cyrus-sasl-MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
