Thanks for reminding me the semantics ;)

Not any more, it was usefully only to do manual staged uploads: we knew
that first all packages in the first slot should have been uploaded,
then the second, and so on. Given that now we are oriented to use the
binNMU approach we can get rid of that.

Since it is no longer in use you can change the semantics, but actually
we can even get rid of that and generated a new file with the info you
need, read on.

Here are all the info I have about the context.
zack@alioth:~$ crontab -l |grep build-dep
05 00 * * * (cd $HOME/build-dep-graph && svn up ; make install) > /dev/null
crontab run on alioth.d.o from my home directory, the dir is a checkout
of tools/build-dep-graph/ from our subversion repository; as you can see
updated nightly. The invoked Makefile target is "install".
ocaml_src_pkgs.txt is generated by the script update_src_list.sh, in the
"download" target of the Makefile (yeah, I agree, it is dirty that
that's not explicit in the Makefile, I did that years ago, I was young
:-)).
What you mean with "doesn't work out of the box"?
Thanks for your efforts in this, I've always took care of this by myself
and it was getting a bit tiresome. Feel free to ask anything else you
need to know.
BTW, I don't like the fact that the cronjob is owned by me since nobody
else can change it (i.e. we fail the "someone gets hit by a bus test");
any idea on how to have a per-group cronjob on alioth? Is it possible at
all? (well, we can ask for a shared user and sudo to it, but it seems a
bit overkilling)
Cheers.
