 ## Releasing
 
-[GoReleaser](https://github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser) is used for package building and GitHub changelog generation. A mild amount of hackery is required to make it work with a Rust program, see [`.goreleaser.yml`](.goreleaser.yml) for the gory details.
+To create tags, use [cargo-release](https://github.com/crate-ci/cargo-release), specifically with `--skip-publish` for now until we have the generic packages open sourced and published on crates.io.

+Once tagged, GitHub Actions will invoke [GoReleaser](https://github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser) to handle building packages and generating a release changelog. A mild amount of hackery is required to make it work with a Rust program, see [`.goreleaser.yml`](.goreleaser.yml) for the gory details.
 
 For maximum compatibility, binaries are built as static Linux binaries using the `x86_64-unknown-linux-musl` Rust target. Note that this means that non-Rust dependencies can only be added if they can easily be statically linked. (In practice, this hasn't been a problem thus far.)
