According to the build logs, the builds start at 2 AM, Derek's local time. The 
release build is a clean build and takes quite some time. The last one (2.4.7) 
ended at a little bit before 7 AM.

But as far as I'm concerned we don't need to rush. I don't mind if you tag the 
build on Friday and we release on Saturday.

That would give Cristian a little more time to include the latest version of 
the Latvian translation also.

But perhaps delaying a day is less convenient for you ?
