Savannah had the src.rpm, but my experiences with rsync failed and I did
not have the time to put there the src.rpm (read: I was hungry like a
starving lion).
There are new rpms up; there that identify a little more on their
nature.

Yes, I don't like to discover that I have to have packages two days from
now, all of a sudden, so I have rpms in time. I'd really rather have:
release is tagged, make packages until next week.
After having the packages, announce.

I have nothing to add, the document seemed a fine work as I read it.
