The existing debmirror (perl) is part of the debix cvs on alioth. I
intended to replace that with the rewrite. But keeping all ocaml
programms together sounds just as good keeping all tools I use for
debix together.
Can you create an empty directory "debmirror" and give write access to
goswin-guest for that part? Only downloaded cdebootstrap once with svn
but it seems to become popular. Time to learn it.

completly empty or just svn and nothing else?
