I've tried to upload it but the 4.0alpha directory is owned by website:website and consequently I can't write to it (I'm not a member of website only updates).

For want of access or time, I've put the file up on rapidshare; it can be downloaded from there only 10 times. If someone wants to put this up on ftp.squeak.org while I'm at work (laid off but there for 2 weeks upon which severance depends,) awesome, otherwise it'll wind up waiting another day:(
Here's the download link:

Great! It also reminds me that I forgot to get back to you after the last board meeting :-( I'll just put it in this message:
Rationale:
- If I package everything up manually, and we need to change the
license at the last minute (or some such thing,) I'll have to do it over again manually, which will be a time consuming pain in the arse.
Yup. And regarding license, we have agreed at the board meeting that we will have a combined Xerox, Apple, Community license. The rationale being that removing copyright notices is highly questionable and since both the Xerox and the Apple copyright are in the image, they should be in the license. Consequently, the copyright headers should read:
Copyright (c) Xerox Corp. 1981, 1982 All rights reserved. Copyright (c) Apple Computer, Inc. 1985-1996 All rights reserved. Copyright (c) The individual, corporate, and institutional contributors who have collectively contributed elements to this software ("The Squeak Community"), 1996-2010 All rights reserved.
I'm assuming that I'll be able to depend that it's trivial for a box-admin to create a copy of the directory on the server and then drop the following files into their respective locations, removing the old versions, is this correct? (Anyone on the box admins list want to join the release team for this one task? Is there someone else with credentials and permissions, if not? I'd really rather not futz with the FTP server if I don't have to.)
Yes, it's trivial. I think pretty much all of us have credentials and could do it. And if I would've thought of it, I would have asked you to send Ken your SSH key so we can get you access. But I'd be happy to do it, I should be available for the rest of the day.
Note that I've dropped the build number from the file names, as (unless there's something I don't know) we're only going to ship this thing once, and we shouldn't need to patch the image at all. Fixes can happen in trunk. Anyway, ditching the build number makes the dreary zipping and such agnostic to what's in the image, and that saves me a bit of time.
Sounds fine.
These are the files that I intend to deliver. If I've missed anything, please let me know ASAP.
README
Squeak4.0-basic.zip
SqueakV40.sources.gz
Squeak4.0mac.zip (mac)
The mac usually has a hyphen, too (Squeak4.0-mac.zip). Also, if you're not a Mac person, do we need a Mac user to zip this up properly to ensure correct permissions etc?
Squeak4.0-basic.zip (unix)
Squeak4.0-win32.zip (windows)
Sounds all great. Perhaps add a LICENSE file?
Cheers,

Try again - 4.0alpha is now owned by updates.
