I didn't say that those tarballs were tagged independently, as your mail seems to imply. As part of the embargo process, you're sending the tags out already. All 3 tarballs are artifacts derived from those tags, directly or indirectly, and you presumably have the same process to generate the final tarballs if the tags are embargoed or not. I'm just asking that the final tarballs are generated when the tags are, and the sizes & digests of the tarballs are shared in the embargo email. Alternatively, publish byte-exact reproduction steps from the tags to the tarballs, so that we can generate them locally for co-ordinated release. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Dev, Infra Lead, Foundation Treasurer E-Mail : robbat2@xxxxxxxxxx GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85 GnuPG FP : 7D0B3CEB E9B85B1F 825BCECF EE05E6F6 A48F6136
