+# Releasing the CLI

+## Version commit
+
+For releases, make sure that the default value for `scalaJSVersion` in the
+build matches the `version` of `scalajs-cli`.
+
+## Publish the `scalajs-cli` artifact to Maven Central
+
+This is a normal cross-compiled publish:
+
+    > +publishSigned
+
+## Build and upload the standalone distribution
+
+For each major version of Scala, identify the latest corresponding full version
+and run:
+
+    $ ./scripts/assemble-cli.sh <Scala.js full version> <Scala full version>
+
+Then upload the produced archives (in `pack/`) to the website, using `scp`.

+# Testing the standalone distribution
+
+TODO: We should automate this process
+
+For each major Scala version on a *NIX distro and a Windows distro:
+
+1. Download packaged Scala from scala-lang.org
+2. Build a CLI distribution (see [the release process](./RELEASING.md))
+3. Unpack Scala and Scala.js distro
+4. Add `bin/` directories of both distributions to path (`export PATH=$PATH:<scala path>/bin:<scala.js path>/bin`)
+5. Create a temporary directory and do:
+
+        mkdir bin
+        echo '
+          object Foo {
+            def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
+              println(s"asdf ${1 + 1}")
+              new A
+            }
+
+            class A
+          }
+        ' > foo.scala
+        scalajsc -d bin foo.scala
+
+        scalajsp bin/Foo$.sjsir
+        # Verify output
+        scalajsp bin/Foo\$A.sjsir
+        # Verify output
+
+        scalajsld -o test.js -mm Foo.main bin
+        # Verify output
+
+        node test.js # Or your favorite thing to run JS
+
+        # Expect "asdf 2"
