** Brief overview of the process

*** Compilation
*** Testing
*** Packaging
*** Compositing
*** Release
*** Distribution
*** Mirroring
** These steps vary according to the particular project/product. For example, when distributing software physically, "Release" means performing a RTM, where the final "gold disk" is sent to the duplicating house to be mass-produced; but when distributing software electronically, "Release" means sending the software to the online distribution system. The sequence of steps also varies between projects/products.
