Okay. Though I'll also note that the RTI backend might be able to do the check itself. It's certainly possible; how difficult it would be to make the change, well ... Now, perhaps each makefile can have a fallback to pull the tarball from its original source -- obviously it has a chance of failing, but it's better than absolutely failing if the tarball isn't posted to our archive. > and means that again the person _could_ have putback at 3am Pacific time > but has to wait until the US-approver they picked wakes up. I don't understand. They couldn't have putback at 3am because their RTI wasn't approved yet, still waiting on their US-based approver. And if they'd been able to putback at 3am, then the tarball would have been in place. Danek
