Done.
I don't think I mentioned these before, but the other items for the release checklist are to update the portable and robustify branches. i.e., merge master into each. (I've just done this.)
Then use the Fedora pkgs-git elfutils/Makefile to update the patch files for distribution. Use that elfutils-portability.patch in the srpm you send to Koji for scratch builds (before committing anything the pkgs git). I think what I did in the past was to send the portable-srpm to the RHEL[45] scratch builders (I'm not sure RHEL4 builds any more at all, and if it didn't last release then we don't care). Note that RHEL6 builders should handle the vanilla Fedora srpm fine.
Thanks, Roland
