I look forward to your return. :)

I guess Ian is waiting for the discover 1 rename, as it isn't useful
to upload discover 2 before discover 1 is out of the way. :)

Looking at the subversion repository, I suspect there are some patches
missing compared to the packages in the debian archive.  Do you known
if this is true?

> Yes, I think we agreed on this plan.

Good.  I am executing it then.  I'll start by updating the alioth CVS,
and ask for people to review the changes.  When this is done, I'll
upload a new version and wait for the ftp-masters to do their thing.
When the new discover1 package is in the archive, it should be safe to
upload discover2 into unstable.

Because I had this strange idea that it should be possible to install
both on the same system.  After trying to do the change, I discovered
that this was probably a complete waste of time, and decided to do the
conflicts trick instead. :)

Yes.  And forget the renaming of files. :)
