Hi Nate,

I just happened commit the necessary changes, but for the future,
when you add a new releases directory, you need to:

1) Add a Makefile in that new directory. The filename (easily 
   enough) should be "Makefile". You can simply copy the Makefile 
   from one of the other release subdirectories and modify it to 
   suit your needs (modify the DOCS variable to contain all the 
   .sgml pages in this new directory.)

   So, the 2.2.1R Makefile will look like:

      DOCS= notes.sgml

      .include "../../web.mk"

   Also do the 'cvs add Makefile <other-files-here>' as appropriate.

2) Modify www/data/releases/Makefile, so its SUBDIR variable 
   contains the new directory. The line looks something like:

      SUBDIR=  1.1 1.1.5 2.0 2.0.5A 2.0.5R (...etc...)

   so we just need to add "2.2.1R" at the end.

Anyhow, when you have a chance, do a 'cvs update' within your 
cvs working directory and browse through the Makefiles in
releases/ and its subdirectory.

For new releases, try to html-ize the announcement (announce.html)
and the README file, as well as the release notes. Then, in addition 
to the above:

3) Update www/data/includes.sgml (the a.latest.not and a.latest.ann
   macros needs to point to the new files), and

4) Update releases/index.sgml so the "Current Releases" reflect 
   this new release. Move the old release to the "Past Releases"
   section.

I haven't done step 3) nor 4) above... the net-lag from my machine 
to freefall is unbearable right now. =-(

Thanks!
