Release scripts: comments, run on Ubuntu

The "source" command isn't accepted by ASH; easy to fix.
Failures with "-e" are harder to fix.  Remove the "-e"
(for now) and force bash, for safety.

Un-obfuscate the release steps, by using names instead
of numbers.  Comment the version-number manipulation.
