Thanks, that's two extra useful bits of functionality that my process currently lacks. I wonder whether the place for them is more in a release tool than yet another addition to maint.mk? I gather up release-and-announcement code in woger: http://rrt.sc3d.org/Software/woger There is no gnu method at present because I removed it, thinking (erroneously) that gnulib would do everything I wanted. I think I'll re-add it, rewriting it to use the gnulib announcement email and upload commands, plus the code above. Also thanks for the mention of vc-dwim; looks like that should help me avoid making quite so many mistakes with my patches. -- http://rrt.sc3d.org
