Yes. So, I'm going to be out of town from this evening through the
holiday weekend. And I would need a few days (4?; could shrink it a
bit by taking a day from work) to prepare postscript hardcopy for a
release.
Are we on track to release June 1? If so, I'd like to derail it by a
few days to get the hardcopy docs prepared. If not, I won't need to
take the fall for asking for a slip ;)
An alternative which I would support but am not yet as satisfied with
would be to decouple the hardcopy docs from the release package. Then
I could release the hardcopy a few days after the actual release.
This alternative has the attractive feature that I don't need to get
final updates two weeks in advance of a release to start prepping the
hardcopy. Especially since I *never* manage to get those updates from
everyone that early. html and text files like INSTALL would ship with
the first release, since those are either automatic (html) or easy (~5
minutes each for INSTALL or HISTORY).
