Hi there,  
Although the state of build and release tools has contiuously improved over the years (and I deeply thank all people involved in this transition), in particular regarding the simplification of steps to perform, I still find myself having trouble releasing software in Opam. So I’d like to ask here what is the current suggested process for “basic” projects relying on Dune (like [my own pet project](https://github.com/grayswandyr/electrod/)). I was even thinking a post that would permanently be updated would be cool. I know [this post](https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/experience-report-switching-to-jbuilder-and-topkg/993?u=grayswandyr) by @mmottl but now we have dune-release (BTW can it work across a proxy?) so I’d love to see an update, gather hints…
