I'll be happy to follow your lead on this (just tell me where to look). As long as I get all the entities I need, it doesn't particularly matter what they are called (well, calling the version string &fred; might be kind of odd, but you get the idea). > The problem as I see it is that we don't just have doc/ and > src/release: we have www/, too, which also needs rel.current et al > (this thread was originally about www/, actually).

Ideas? (I know this isn't strictly related to > relnotes.) Hmmmmm. No ideas right now. I was under the mistaken impression that building www/ required doc/ (told you I didn't know much about the www build). At least if the entities are all named the same, people editing the three different sets of files (doc/, www/, and src/release/doc/) won't get too confused. That's a win to me.
