[sldev] Timing of source releases (Re: Sources for WindLight v1.19.0.79674 ?)

[Rob Lanphier]

Hi folks,

Given that things are improving (at least, we hope), I really hope you 
all can cut us just a little bit of slack here.

The release team is still short-staffed right now (we're hiring...) and 
the process Soft has been using has been separate from the release 
team's efforts.  There's some organizational disconnect that will 
probably be easier to deal with next week when the program manager for 
the release team is back in the office.

There are several projects underway that are going to streamline source 
releases, but those projects are going to take time to get done.  In the 
meantime, expect incremental improvements to the process.

Mike, addressing your implicit question:

It should be possible to use the sldev-commits tarballs to build a full 
install image.
