I'll look into that. AFAIK only thing is to put right files into right
places, no need for dedicated software on server.

I will update mostly on weekends. I am bit overloaded, so responsivity isn't
best on my part. I'll try to keep up to date.
Another thing with debs I dislike atm: The package versions are the same all
the time. Sure, apt-get is smart enough to figure out what changed, but you
lose overview soon which build you run. I'll bump up version (probably best
scheme is 3.0.7-cvsYYYYMMDD) at each rebuild, and probably push the patch
upstream :). Likewise all changes to packaging should bump package version
(they should be mentioned in debian/changelog).

I have enough C++ experience to fix (or workaround at least) most common
problems. There are little chances to get cvsup in middle of week for me
unfortunately.
There are chances i'll get things right (building on tuesday), but i don't
want to be overly optimistic :). I'll have to redesign some networks around
me in this town to get it working, wiping windows along the way... ;).
