I have a prototype of a release makefile system in p4 that I'd like to discuss with you when you break free of actually doing releases. Will you ever break free? :-) I wanted a re-entrant release system that would let me type: make livedvd_iso (or something) and it would just build the things needed to make that. And then if I changed a file it would incrementally build like I always expect 'make'd things to do. It's also cross-build enabled; doesn't require a chroot; uses installed doc build tools; and shares buildworld/universe trees. -- John Birrell
