Hi all,

I have updated our group Policy; please let me know if other modifications
would be advisable.

Here is the content of http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/docs/policy.html#source

To check the sources of a package (referred as <package> below) in our
repositories, use the debcheckout command, from the devscripts package.

If you are a member of Debian Med or a Debian developer, with account name
<username>, you have write permission.

If the package is already in the archive:

debcheckout --user <username> --git-track '*' <package>

For draft packages that are only on Alioth:

debcheckout --user <username> svn://svn.debian.org/debian-med/trunk/packages/<package>/trunk <package>

debcheckout --user <username> git://git.debian.org/debian-med/<package>.git --git-track '*'

For packages managed with Git, the option --git-track ensures that the clone
has all the branches tracked. This is needed when using the git-buildpackage
helper. Alternatively to debcheckout, the command gbp-clone will also track the
relevant branches:

gbp-clone git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/debian-med/<package>.git

For read-only access with debcheckout, remove the --user option. With
gbp-clone, use an anonymous URL like the following:

gbp-clone git://anonscm.debian.org/debian-med/<package>.git

Cheers,
