 * Create the automated part of the announcement with the announce-gen
   script that is part of gnulib:
+    pkg=automake
     prever=1.16.92
     newver=1.16.94
-    gpgkey=0x7FD9FCCB000BEEEE #  gpg --fingerprint
-    $gnulib/build-aux/announce-gen --release-type=alpha \
-      --package-name=automake --previous-version=$prever \
+    reltype=alpha # or beta or stable
+    host=`if test $reltype = stable; then echo ftp; else echo alpha; fi`
+    gpgkey=0x... #  gpg --fingerprint
+    $gnulib/build-aux/announce-gen --release-type=$reltype \
+      --package-name=$pkg --previous-version=$prever \
       --current-version=$newver --gpg-key-id=$gpgkey \
-      --url-directory=https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/automake
+      --url-directory=https://$host.gnu.org/gnu/$pkg
   and merge this with the just-written announcement file.
 
 * Run "make git-tag-release".
