Good. However, as you have noticed, situation is not so peachy :( We'll have to work something out soon. > jr> Now, I have a few questions. Where is policy manual, packaging > jr> manual?

Hm, I'd agree with letting debiandoc-sgml stay standalone - it isn't a SGML text afterall. The policy is important, probably the write permissions on that are more strict... Is packaging-manual in the same CVS sub-repository as policy? However, I'll write to current maintainer of the tutorial and let him know he's very welcome in DDP. I see no apparent reason for the tutorial be left out of our effort. > jr> And the-always-neccessary lamer question: who has write permission > jr> in the CVS and on which documents? > > Anyone in group Debian on va, which is to say, any maintainer. Oh dear, all the roots I know would choke to death now :) OTOH it's nice for me to know that I can make instant changes when I see something wrong in the docs. I intend to add notes about maint-guide in some of the related manuals... propaganda ;) If anyone has a problem with that, he can revert the patch and/or talk to me. -- enJoy -*/\*- http://jagor.srce.hr/~jrodin/
