Subject: Automate release procedure

Lisp Version: 

Description: '
Description':one of the major sources of confusion between one release master '
and the next has been exactly what is done in the release process. We need at '
least a document and preferably a PROGRAM which automates the processes that '
happen when doing a variety of tasks for LispSupport. (Perhaps document with '
major procedures embodied in programs.) For example, I would like to retain the'
wish that LispSupport take charge of updating the release directories on [Rose]'
, [Idun], [Ivan], [Aztec], and a number of other file servers which purport to '
hold the Interlisp-D release but in fact have old or out of date copies. '
Perhaps this is a job for Pasadena? They haven''t taken on the job of supporting'
the internal Xerox interlisp-D user community; I''m reluctant to add that to '
their burden, since they are so overloaded that they would let it slide and our'
internal reputation would slip.'
