Martin and I have been working late since Wednesday to get that build going. It's the first time that we're doing this so we have no idea how long it is going to take, but we'll do our best to get it done on time. The process is running now and it's done when it's done.

Hopefully, we can put it onto the official ftp server, but we need to coordinate that with Curt. This probably means we need to arrange that after Curt returns from his Hawaii trip.
