Re: [cdt-dev] Releng change thoughts

Hello Doug,
Having the zip archive of the update site sounds good. I assume this will be
the case for releases as well, as releases is just a particularly good
"nightly" build. It will be easier for us to manage. Instead of downloading
several zips and tar.gzs for various OSes, we can download a single file.

Some example scripts would be nice :o)
regards,
Adam
