Uhm, ok.
I knew about the symlink just yesterday -- there are people using this
method for other projects (Ansgar Burchardt for PET, for example), so I thought
it was the "accepted way" of doing things.

Could you expand this point?
What does this "publish" target do? Does it scp things from vasks to wagner?

I'm not entirely sure that's the most correct way. Those are the same admins we
made the symlink wagner:/srv/home pointing to vasks :)

Anyway, we can contact them, asking for clarification.

18 symlinks seem too much to me :)

dapal@wagner:~/debian-med/htdocs$ ls |wc -l
19

(-1 → tasks/ directory, which wouldn't be symlinked)

This is what I did not understand :)
