Sorry for the long silence. If I understand correctly, you are suggesting something like bash's README.Debian has, documenting choices made during packaging. Sounds like a good idea; retitling as a reminder for the future. Meanwhile the need to help people get started with their own svn servers is documented in Bug#173960, as you mentioned. Care to suggest wording for either? Realistically speaking, that's the simplest way to get this fixed soon and well. :) Thanks, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
