Release Manager Backend

Last Thrusday, unix admins contacted Navid that they may have a fix for the Mac AFS token issue.  They were performing further tests, Navid will contact them to see what happened.

Navid has been working to make ST work on SCons again for upcoming reprocessing release.  Currently it works in LATEST and HEAD for Linux.  There are issues on the HEAD for Mac, most notably with the Likelihood package.  There are build errors associated with templates.

Windows builds are going, but there are issues to be worked out for the unit tests, though all agree Mac takes precedence.

Heather asked a question JIm had, about why the ST LATEST builds seemingly have more SCons versions than CMT builds.  Navid explained that while the HEAD and release tags have a one-to-one correspondance between SCons and CMT, the LATEST builds do not.  This is due to the request for adjusting the timing between LATEST builds, and to SCons RM picking up updates to SCons files, that also trigger builds.

Richard recently received an automated email notification concerning a build error for the microquasar package.  There have been no changes lately so the cause of the failure is a mystery.  Heather will be looking into it.  Richard did have some suggestions concerning the form of the notifications
