Yeah, I guess I meant that we should have a signed tag (v2.7.3) but it
doesn't need "-signed" in the name. We only had to do that last
time because there was already an unsigned "v2.7.2" tag.

Buildbot snapshot builder. After 2.7.3 is released, I plan to go back to the
previous way of injecting the Buildbot build number and Git hash into the
tarball name. (The long filenames in the Java package were preventing us from
doing this before.)

Yes, since I don't know how long it will take to reconfigure Buildbot. (I
would also like to get it to automatically build the website - currently that
needs to be triggered manually.)

I suppose we could tag the DDL repository as well.
