> What I wonder is whether some of these steps can be skipped If you have to ask, the answer is no. If you feel qualified to improve the release process, good, do so and show the result, but remember that it must work reliably on all architectures, and that compile time is certainly an issue, but not the only issue to keep in mind. In particular, reliability is important, flexibility is not. If you do not feel qualified to rework the release process, ask yourself the following question before hacking something up: Why do you trust the result to be correct? Do you really want to run it on your machines? I never heard that anybody builds releases without making build right before, and i doubt very much that trying to do so will introduce anything except lots of new opportunities for subtle errors. If it leads anywhere at all. Yours, Ingo
