I have a prototype of a release makefile system in p4 that I'd
like to discuss with you when you break free of actually doing
releases. Will you ever break free? :-)
 
I wanted a re-entrant release system that would let me type:
 
make livedvd_iso
 
(or something) and it would just build the things needed to make
that. And then if I changed a file it would incrementally
build like I always expect 'make'd things to do.

It's also cross-build enabled; doesn't require a chroot; uses
installed doc build tools; and shares buildworld/universe
trees.
