Re: Bug#257150: Any timeframe for updating the developers reference?

[Osamu Aoki <osamu@debian.org>]

Hi,

I think DDP documents are build from svn.debian.org (an alioth service)

 http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/ddp/manuals/trunk/developers-reference/

(Unlike web contents where CVS is used and SVN is some kind of dummy)
