Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:17 boklm]:
 > The change to add the --createIncrementalMARs command line to
 update_responses looks good.
 >
 > The other changes introduce a single makefile rule to generate the
 incremental mar files and sign them. I am wondering if we should separate
 the incremental mar files generation, and the signature, to allow a
 process like this:
 > - build tor-browser
 > - generate incremental mars
 > - upload sha256sums.incrementals.txt of unsigned mar files
 > - check that sha256sums.txt and sha256sums.incrementals.txt are matching
 > - sign the mar files, update responses xml files and upload

 It would be simple to keep 'incrementals' as a separate Make target.  The
 reason I put everything in one script was to make it less likely that
 things would happen in the wrong order.

 gk or mikeperry:  What do you think?  What will the release process look
 like once we need to sign the MAR files?
