Well, this won't be useful until the next release. Say we relase rc4.
You'll need to find an rsync server which carries our packages.
people.debian.org doesn't provide anonymous rsync I'm afraid. You can
probably find an available mirror once we have uploaded this to the debian
archive, although that might be too late if you want to work from CVS..
Then, copy the old version to the new name and rsync the new file
cp openoffice.org_1.0.99+1.1rc3.orig.tar.gz openoffice.org_1.0.99+1.1rc4.orig.tar.gz
rsync <server>::<directory>/openoffice.org_1.0.99+1.1rc4.orig.tar.gz

Oops, that should have been 'cvs -z3 co ...' not 'cvs co -z3 ...', fixed
thanks.

Thanks, I used it to update the instructions for openoffice.debian.net. Jan
needs to pull them from CVS to the website.
