Thanks a lot - this kind of thing keeps us going :) Samuel, Dave P, Scott, Dave S, Eric and I have put a lot of work into this, as have a number of other folks and I am sure I speak for all when I say thanks for the good word.
As for releases - try running this command: faxien fetch-release erl ./ that is going to pull the erl release - in a publishable form down into the ./ directory. Examine that package, it is pretty straightforward - well except the executables in the bin file - for those you may want to copy something more straightforward like the faxien executable script. Basically copy that structure changing specifics for your release of course and then publish away. We can help if you have trouble.
