[M3devel] HEADS UP: release_CM3_5_8_RC2 / code freeze

[Jay K]

How does one checkout, update or commit to RC2 and beyond RC2?
 
 
There is still maybe the formsedit crash. I'll verify soon.
 
Ideally we get to a situation in which distributions are built every day and what we ship is merely picked among them. I need to ever get Tinderbox working and under cron or in a loop.
 
I also wonder if we should go back to 5.7.something, since we burned through 5.7 fairly fast.
