I'm going to post this to python-dev too, so people see the time line at
the end.

I hope the other email cleared most of these up.

Yes.

Hey, don't sweat it -- this is only my third...
For clarity, here's how the next few hours go. All times GMT.
12:00 I declare the branch to be good, cut a tarball for you and leave it
in creosote.python.org:~mwh/Python-2.2.1.tar.gz
~16:00 Fred finishes the docs and leaves a pile of files scattered all
over creosote.
2:00-5:00 You grab the above, build some RPMs, and leave them in
creosote.python.org:~jafo/python-2.2.1-foo.rpm. Emailing me
md5s probably gets you brownie points. I sleep.
11:00 I move all files into place on creosote, edit web pages, write an
announcement, etc. I go nowhere near sourceforge (hurrah!).
12:00 the release: I send the announcement, run make install on creosote,
etc. Fireworks, champagne, and so on.
Does this sound reasonable?
Cheers,
M.
