 ## Release process
 Build the `Dockerfile` using the current version from https://alpinelinux.org/downloads/:
 ```bash
-# Note 3.20.0 not 3.19!
-./build-bin/build 3.20.0
+# Note 3.20.2 not 3.19!
+./build-bin/build 3.20.2
 ```
 
 Next, verify the built image matches that version:
 ```bash
 docker run --rm openzipkin/alpine:test -c 'cat /etc/alpine-release'
-3.20.0
+3.20.2
 ```
 
-To release the image, push a tag matching the arg to `build-bin/build` (ex `3.20.0`).
