Hi Tassilo and other co-maintainers, for the release process we should follow the "Distributions" section of the GNU Maintainer guide, right? I can build and sign all tarballs, including XEmacs and Windows ones, but who will send the packages to the FTP server? For what is worth, I haven't gone through the process to automate FTP uploads yet.
In the Makefile, the default shell is a generic /bin/sh, but in the release-sign rule there is a "read -sp" command which is, AFAIK, specific to "bash" and /bin/sh doesn't necessarily points to bash (in Debian and derivates it doesn't). The "-p" option can be replaced by a preceding "echo -n" message, the "-s" option doesn't have a generic replacement. A solution could be to set the shell to /bin/bash, another could be to replace the read "-p" option with the "echo" and drop the "-s" option.
