You can find it on Alioth in: /var/lib/gforge/chroot/home/groups/debian-med/scripts/update-bugs I'd like to keep it under svn control, but it might be a problem -- cron calls it from the ./scripts/ directory, but in that directory we also have update-website, which is called by SVN's post-commit... We have to think on how to do this, avoiding any possible problem. Consider this: ./scripts/ is a SVN export, which is done by the post-commit hook, which also uses scripts from inside ./scripts/ itself.
