+### Web site
+
+The website has various release-version dependent pieces.
+You can update them with `python3 update_version.py NEW_VERSION`, which will regenerate the affected page sources.
+
+These need the release to have been done first as they need hashes for tarballs and such.
+
+### NixOS module
+
+The NixOS module has underdeveloped releng in it.
+Currently you have to do the whole branch-off dance manually to a `release-VERSION` branch and update the tarball URLs to point to the release versions manually.
+
+FIXME: this should be unified with the `set_version.py` work in `lix-installer` and probably all the releng kept in here, or kept elsewhere.
