 Creating a New Release
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
-New releases are made using the following steps:
+These steps for creating a new release are proposed to be taken only after
+ensuring that CI (unit tests, sphinx for RTD_, build of wheel and source distribution)
+raised no errors.
 
 #. Bump version number in ``sfs/__init__.py``
 #. Update ``NEWS.rst``
 #. Commit those changes as "Release x.y.z"
 #. Create an (annotated) tag with ``git tag -a x.y.z``
-#. Clear the ``dist/`` directory
-#. Create a source distribution with ``python3 setup.py sdist``
-#. Create a wheel distribution with ``python3 setup.py bdist_wheel``
-#. Check that both files have the correct content
-#. Upload them to PyPI_ with twine_: ``python3 -m twine upload dist/*``
-#. Push the commit and the tag to Github and `add release notes`_ containing a
-   link to PyPI and the bullet points from ``NEWS.rst``
-#. Check that the new release was built correctly on RTD_
-   and select the new release as default version
