[racket-dev] Pre-Release Checklist for v6.1.1

> * Jon Rafkind <rafkind at cs.utah.edu>
>   Release tests for (one of the) linux releases:
>   - Test that the `racket' and `racket-textual' source releases
>     compile fine (note that they're still called `plt' and `mz' at
>     this stage).
>   - Test that the binary installers for both work, try each one in
>     both normal and unix-style installation modes. (just ubuntu)
>   [Note: get the release candidates from the URL in this email. Use
>    the 'static table' link to see a list of all tar files available]

While building racket-src.tgz I saw this error (similar to the one I saw for the last release).

I had previously built racket-6.1.0.900-src-builtpkgs.tgz and racket-6.1.0.900-src.tgz without seeing this error. This error is hard to reproduce. After seeing this error I ran 'make install' and the rest of the installation seemed to proceed smoothly.
