Yes, I think that should do it.

Then, the I build the source like so.

./make-dist --snapshot --no-check --no-changelog
rename .tar _`date +%Y-%m-%d`.tar emacs*.tar.gz
mv emacs-*.tar.gz ~/emacs-upload

I don't think I ever automated this bit.

The model of build-zips.sh is probably a bit complicated and could be
simplified. The addition of snapshots and the ability to build from a
branch makes it much more so and the documentation isn't always well
done. I have been trying to remember why I called the variable
"OF_VERSION" so, or what "OF" stands for, and have failed!

Apologies for this.
