Let me know. If I understand correctly, we copy webwml source and create source for this deb package manually in advance. In a oversimplified sense: source of www.debian.org --> transform to create deb source. --> deb What is better is create a source deb package as the pristine source and generate corresponding www.debian.org pages from binary deb package content files with cron script on www-master.d.o like debian-policy etc. Then updating is simpler. deb source package --> deb binary packages --> www.debian.org Of course, this needs to be agreed by the party updating the constitution in advance. Just my thought. Osamu
