I believe there was a discussion a few weeks about about the fact that
trac and github wikis are not consistent

I've been adding my processes to the github wiki, the script does
exactly what is in the github wiki (including stuff from the testing page)

    https://github.com/ganglia/monitor-core/wiki/BuildingARelease

I am very keen on any feedback you have about the script - I think the
script improves the QA testing, and removes a lot of tedious manual
steps.  If the script is broken, I would really like to know and I will
have a go at fixing it.

You can test the script against a local clone of the repo too: you don't
have to run it against github.  Just manually clone to /tmp/something,
and hack the git2dist.rc file to clone the clone.  You can then try
making a 3.3.8 and inspect all the work directories created by the
script, without any risk that anything gets pushed back to github

Regards,

Daniel
