They just cut the tarball, it would be hosted on Daryl or Justin's server, and the committers would download and test the tarball. Normally there would be votes cast pretty quickly (2 or 3 days tops), and it would be published in the official channels once there were enough +1 votes (and no -1). -- Daniel J McDonald, CCIE # 2495, CISSP # 78281
