There are two documents in the developer's howto about updating the  
release branch. I suggest merging them into one.

http://wiki.fhcrc.org/bioc/SvnHowTo  <- seems to be newest
http://wiki.fhcrc.org/bioc/HowTo/Update_Release_Branch

Please merge away :-)

I believe that all we need to do these days is bumping the version  
number, and then it gets build automatically - right?

Yes... But it is important to emphasize that developers should run R
CMD check and should do their best to test any packages that depend on
their package.  

We run a regular build of the release and push out packages that
pass check _and_ have a version bump.

Also, only one of the docs mention sending an email to bioc-devel. I  
would guess that the relevant place is the main bioc list?

I should have read this one first -- I just replied to your post
saying, "send this to the main bioc list" :-)
