what we upload and

You can tag this package
-                               also retroactively.  A first step, creating

ways: either create it
-                               locally as sibling of <filename 
class="directory">trunk/</filename> with
-                               <code><command>svn mkdir</command> <filename 
class="directory">tags</filename></code>, and commit with
-                               <code><command>svn commit</command></code>, or 
create it remotely with
-                               <code><command>svn mkdir</command> <filename 
class="directory">svn+ssh://[email protected]/svn/debian-med/trunk/packages/&lt;package&gt;/tags</filename></code>.
-                               After the tags directory has been created, 
you're ready to tag the
-                               package: 
<code><command>svn-buildpackage</command> <option>--svn-tag-only</option> 
<option>--svn-noautodch</option></code>.
-                               The <option>--svn-noautodch</option> avoids
-                               <filename>debian/changelog</filename> to be 
marked as <literal>UNRELEASED</literal>.
