+# Usage notes
+#
+# Running this script will creates release tarballs for all synfig 
+# modules and testing them by installing into ~/local-synfig/.
+#
+# It is also possible to run procedure for each module separately by 
+# passing specific arguments to the script:
+# * Run procedures for ETL:
+#    synfigstudio-release.sh etl
+# * Run procedures for synfig-core:
+#    synfigstudio-release.sh core
+# * Run procedures for synfig-studio:
+#    synfigstudio-release.sh studio
+#
