Jeff,

You should be able to run "setup -t" to use the setup_testing.ini file
from download.osgeo.org.  When you are satisfied with it, do the
"Promote" link on the web to move it to production.

Looks good.  Just remember it needs to be updated each release
until the automatic versioning starts working properly.

Stuff like this is why I'd like to go to gdal 2.0 before I get to
gdal 1.10.

Best regards,
