Re: Releasing 1.0.10, 1.1.5, 1.2.4 and 1.3.3

Forgive me for asking a question whose answer is presumably obvious to
the regulars, but as an outsider I am left wondering if something went
"wrong" in the SCM process to cause such difficulty in reconstructing a
previous (albeit older) release?

Are the dependencies not fully documented? Has the build environment
changed? Or is this simply a matter of resource availability for
testing?

Just curious ...

Thanks,
Mark
