What are your parameters? I've started working on the scripts this weekend, and unfortunately for me, I am bursting with ideas of things to try out - this is going to be helpful for the future, but not so good for the present. I am planning on working on it an hour every day, so I should have branching hopefully done soon, and then at least pre-release creation done right after that. To explain a bit the delay, the switch to git is more than just changing some configuration-management commands in the script. Git opens up the door for doing things a little differently. For instance, I will have the scripts sends the email for me, instead of me doing some tedious copy/pasting - this is now possible because I don't have to be afraid of losing the connection to sourceware while creating the branch from a repo on my laptop. Same thing for GPG signing. If the delay is unbearable to your platform, then we'll need to temporary re-open the CVS, and produce an extra release from there. Or the alternative is to produce a release by hand, but that would take much more time, I think. Neither of these 2 options are attractive, so it'd be better if we could wait for me to be ready. -- Joel
