Yeah, I agree. That's partly what I was trying to do with my notes, but they need more revision, and I wouldn't at all mind the content being copied somewhere that's more generally editable so that other workflows can be added. (I'll probably keep maintaining my page to document precisely what I personally do, but I can make those changes in more than one place.) > My comments were not intended to (and do not prevent) what either of > them is proposing.

Both methods really need to be explained. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
