In understand that this should be done on the machine the
apt@arch.ubuntu.com is hosted on, am I wrong ?

I think I get the general point about this but	I don't really
understand whether I can indeed do this or something similar on my own
machine without bothering other people...:-)

Just in case, I installed the bazaar package on my machine....but
please don't tell me to migrate my tla stuff to it..:-)

/me, kinda lost but now needing to get the CVS commits in his archive...
