Yes, of course that makes sense. What would be a better time for you Martin? I would like to at least debug this aspect of the PEP so that next time we can coordinate better.
As I said: If you create the tag in your morning, I can do the binaries before heading home. Please send an email message to martin.vonloewis@hpi.uni-potsdam.de and martin@v.loewis.de when the tag is done (along to all other people who need to know that the tag has been created).
I'm guessing the earlier in your day the better. I'm generally online by 1300 UTC. Maybe it makes sense to do the prep work the night before so the tag is ready by your morning?
Afternoon/early evening is fine. Not sure how much time you need: if you can do it by 1600 UTC, that's good enough (I know that a release is upcoming, so I would be waiting for your message).
Of course, if you rather prefer to do that stuff in your afternoon (the day before the release): that would work for me as well. I think people will accept the tree being frozen for more than 24 hours.
Of course, Anthony is in a different time zone, so when he created the tag in his evening, I had all day, and the binaries would still be available when he got up the next morning.
Regards, Martin
