OK ,if he can get it done quickly. Otherwise there's no harm in waiting a month. Actually, less than a month. I'm going on Vacation May 31, so I'm planning to release 2.5.3 the weekend before.

Derek launched a trunk build yesterday and it completed and copied to Code, so maybe it will be OK. Your changes this morning were too late to trip a rebuild, so we'll have to see if it completes on its own tomorrow morning. Derek also set 2.4 back to building only weekly, so it shouldn't block anything until next Thursday. If you can figure out why the scp hangs after completing the transfer by then, that would be great.
