Matthias has discovered a bug in the new process. The tarball does indeed already have a generated Misc/NEWS. The quandry is that the blurb generation step is needed when building the docs directly from the Git repo, including the daily website builds, but it should not be performed when building the Docs from a release tarball. Please open an issue for this on the tracker and mark it as "release blocker" so it can get sorted out before the final releases. -- Ned Deily n...@python.org -- [] _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers Code of Conduct: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
