It will do everything from the point where a release candidate (with all the 
necessary footwork and files that belong to the release) is put in place BUT 
there is still a lot of manual work around it. I think I could maybe talk about 
that during the Symposium, walking us through all the steps.

Bear with me a little bit more, I have other obligations today, I will let you 
know.

I have not foreseen to actually run the test suite against the release 
candidate, the script can deal with switching the building but to change also 
all testing will take some time for me to do. That is another 20+ xml files to 
parse & change without breaking anything.

I am not able to do the release next week, I need to be in front of the 
computer here in Berlin, it is much more manual work than you think and I need 
to have physical contact to my machines while doing so.

I suggest you call me tomorrow and we can talk about how to proceed.
