+## How to generate binaries and update build files
+
+1. Download the latest bison source tarball
+1. Extract, then build it with --prefix=/
+1. Install into some dir using `DESTDIR`
+1. Delete all files except the following subdirs: `bin` `lib` `share/bison` `share/aclocal`
+1. Rename installdir to `bison-$version-macos-$arch` where `$arch` follows Meson's CPU families list:
+ https://mesonbuild.com/Reference-tables.html#cpu-families
+1. `tar -cvjf bison-$version-macos-$arch.tar.bz2 bison-$version-macos-$arch/`
+1. Fetch sha256sum: `shasum -256 bison-$version-macos-$arch.tar.bz2`
+1. Update sha256sum in `meson.build`
+1. Update `project()` version in `meson.build`
+
+That's it!
