Are we at least in agreement that, in principle, anything that's done automatically as part of preparing a release is better than the need to do that manually? Or are you saying that manual steps are not a burden in any way? > I propose the following little patch, that uses the admin.el route and > is minimally disruptive. Thanks. This is okay with me, but I'd prefer that the default value of VERSION in lib-src/makefile.w32-in be UNKNOWN. That way, if we ever forget to run admin.el, we get the result shouting right in our face.
