Hmm... while thinking about it, two questions game to my mind:

Allthough most of our packages are independent of each other, there
might be packages usefull to group.  e.g. if they have several level
set's.  (There ist for example ppracer, the game and some leverls, and
tuxracer-extras, which contains many extra levels).

So... uhm... should I add them as ppracer/{...} and
tuxracer-extras/{...} or would ppracer/ppracer/{...} and
ppracer/tuxracer-extras/{...} would make our job much more easier?

Just use "scp tarball pkg-games.alioth.debian.org:/var/lib/gforge/chroot/home/groups/pkg-games/tarballs".

Since we have a unix-group on that machine, we can limit write access to
all members of that project.  That should be okay, shouldn't it?

Uhm... testing it... wasn't there a possibility to mark that directory
as "every file you create here will be read/writable by the group"?

You were thinking about a "world writable" (or at least "more than group
member writable") directory, when you wrote this, weren't you?


Yours sincerely,
