Re: FYI: GDB nightly snapshots still down

Thanks, Pierre - your help is always very much appreciated.

Exact. The bfd date update is performed at midnight, but takes a few
seconds to complete. But the nightly snapshots were created using
midnight as the cutoff date, thus missing the bfd date update.

I struggled a bit, but eventually managed to fix this issue, I think.

There was also another issue with the src-release Makefile, which still
computed the version slightly wrong, because it was generated a tarball
where the version number contained the "-cvs" suffix.  This is not what
we used to do, from looking at the snapshot FTP, although I am really
not sure how this could have been. I am now at a point where I'm
really ready to get this past us, so I just went ahead and fixed
src-release.

I was too late for tonight's snapshot, but hopefully we'll have one
tomorrow.
