 Hi there! If you're trying to fix something here, do the following:
 
 1. Make whatever edits you need to in 80-rhel/
-2. `git commit` the changes
-3. `make bump` to bump SERIAL
-4. `make tar` to make a new tarball
-5. `make update-spec` to update specfile
-6. Add changelog entry to .spec
-7. `rhpkg-sha512 new-sources` the new tarball
-8. `git add lorax-templates-rhel.spec SERIAL`
-9. `git commit`
-
-Steps 8 and 9 can be combined as:
-     `rhpkg-sha512 clog && rhpkg-sha512 ci -F clog`
-
-You're now ready to do a new build. Isn't spec wonderful?
+2. `git commit` the changes with the relevant 'Resolves/Related' bug reference
+3. `make release`
+   This will bump the release, update the spec with changes in this branch,
+   create a new tarball, upload it, and commit the changes.
+4. Examine the changes with 'git show' and make sure they look ok.
+5. Push the changes to your fork of the project with:
+   'git push REMOTE BRANCHNAME' and follow the instructions to
+   create a merge request in gitlab.
