Ok, I'll watch for the tag to appear in the source, and when it does I'll assume the tagged revision is the one to release. In the mean time, I'll get the Release Notes and Changelogs written.

However, as a non-developer, I like to be absolutely sure I'm grabbing the right files. :) I found Kristian's email that he sent me a long while back regarding how to determine the correct build number for a release. The link he gave me was this one (well, he gave me a 5.1 link, so I've updated it to 5.2): http://buildbot.askmonty.org/buildbot/grid?branch=5.2&category=package It's similar to yours, but shows just the package builders. Kristian: Using what you sent me a while back, I've added some instructions on determining build numbers for releases to the bottom of: http://kb.askmonty.org/v/release-process (note #6). Can you look at it and let me know if it is correct? Feel free to make any needed changes.
