[Rivet] Getting Rivet and AGILe released

[Andy Buckley]

Hi y'all,

I'm going to be on holiday for the next week, but given that we failed
so comprehensively to hit our release deadlines for Rivet and AGILe last
week, I'd like to get them released before I get back, so that the MCnet
students can try them out if they want! (By the way, how did the
sessions go?)

So I'm going to point the finger at James, and nominate him as being in
charge of getting the packages officially released. Just a question of
squashing any known bugs, test with the bootstrap on lxplus, update the
version number, make the tarballs and create new SVN tags... I hope we
can finally do it this week ;) However, if the bugs continue to appear
as interminably as they have this week, then I think keeping the beta
tarballs updated is important: we don't want to make a release that we
know contains serious bugs.

I'm looking forward to getting this release under our belts: every time
we have to make a release, it blocks all the interesting new things we
could be doing... although it's also a very good way to find bugs!

Bye for now,
Andy
