Hi, I need critical review again. New maint-guide should show up on the web soon as the *11* January 2005 version at
http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ I am thinking to upload around 23rd based on this version. Joy or anyone, if you do not like any contents here, please tell me so. I will accommodate your request. See more below.

I reorganized and added contents to Chapter 6 - 9 quite a bit. I also added example as appendix. These makes document longer: bad More examples should ease the NM learning curve.: good. Now there is no excuse not to use pbuilder: good This should address most of the requests: good Before correcting my English, please tell me if these additions / changes / content selections / contents organization are OK. If people feel too redundant to have example, please tell me so I will remove it. After we agree on general contents, I am sure my bad English needs correction. Regards, Osamu
