Gary, thanks for the info. That is an unbelievable number of steps required to cut a release. I see you're working on Windows, but I'm going to try and throw something together (probably in Python as I'm trying learn it) focused on Linux. If you could make it work on Windows as well, that'd be huge.
All: Are the steps that Gary outlined what most everyone does to cut a release? Is there a better way? Thanks...
