It's there.

MG In any case, the instructions posted by Dominik are valid with one

MG GMT.

It's nearly 2001.07.03 05:00 UTC now, which means I'll do the release at
15:00 CDT (my local time).  Unless UTC and GMT aren't currently
coincident.  (This stuff makes my brain hurt.)

I will mail out the announcement (docs/ANNOUNCE) at that time, unless
someone else wants their name in the headers.

Did you download 2.4.0-pre3? :)

It has no 2.4.0.1 anywhere, because as I said I did it from
cvs update -r version-2_4_0. The files that you mention have version
after symbolic version-2_4_0, so this is not included in the package.

 Also, the fvwm-web patch does
 not have the correct date anymore.  Forthermore, the dates in the
 module man pages do not match the intended release date anymore.
 I have to redo everything from scratch (*groan*).  Can somebody
 tell me the cvs command to move the 2.4.0 tag to the current file

  % cvs tag -F version-2_4_0 [files]

I think that pre3 is just good to be a release. Trust me. But if you want
to have an additional headache, which I really wanted not to cut from you,
you may decide differently. :)

Web patch may be redone. It is ok by me that the date is July 1, since we
didn't have a single code change since then, so pre-2 is not different.

As I wrote this, I got an email about pre4. But the tag is not moved,
so cvs update -r version-2_4_0 is still pre3. So either pre4 is not
synchronized with cvs tag version-2_4_0 or pre4 is the same as pre3.

Regards,
Mikhael.

I'd really prefer if you didn't take that this lightly.  It's no
fun to double and triple check each step I make and I don't think
it's a good idea to change the set of distributed files 6 hours
before the release (see todo-2.4 and todo-3.0).

The list of distributed files is defined in Makefile.am, I didn't change
it. This change didn't actually add todo-2.4 and todo-3.0 to rpm
because they are not distributed with dist, it was harmless.

Ok, I see that you tagged a new tag version_2_4_0; tag version-2_4_0
is not moved.

Here is that may be done to synchronize these tags:

  % cvs tag -r version_2_4_0 -F version-2_4_0

It looks like Freshmeat was taking so long because I attempted to

I trimmed it down and got it through.
