Thanks debian-admin!!

Let me setup the admin dir in the next day or so. I will arrange for
emails about changes to be sent to the debian-tetex-admin list.
I recommend that anyone not familiar with CVS reads up a bit about it
before trying to use it.
With regards to different releases, I recommend the following scheme,
based on cvs-buildpackage:
- The upstream versions will be installed in the archive with the tag
upstream_version_1_0_7_20011202 or whatever (change all . and + to _)
and the Debian versions will be tagged debian_version_1_0_7_20011202-4
or whatever, with the Debian version after the hyphen. (Again, an
NMU would have -4_1 if needed; tags can't have '.' in them.)
- After woody tetex-* is frozen and we decide to continue, we can
create a woody branch; then one can checkout the woody version or
the normal unstable version as needed.
- One can use the cvs-buildpackage package to help if one so desires.
In particular, one has to be careful when uploading a new upstream
to ensure that any added and removed files are correctly handled.
I'll upload the current tetex-* sources into the CVS in the next
couple of days.
Watch this space!
Julian
