this does not work as advertised.

svn tells me:
svn co svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/pkg-uml
svn: No repository found in 'svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/pkg-uml'

and the content of the cvs repository seems to be in a funny
format:

andreas at timotheus:~/src/user-mode-linux-2.6.12-1um$ head -n5 debian/changelog,v
head     1.1;
branch   1.1.1;
access   ;
symbols  START:1.1.1.1 Debian:1.1.1;
locks    ; strict;

so this is a RCS file, itself. 

i would like to upload new user-mode-linux packages. which ones
should i use?

in what way will we use the repositories? checking in directories
with (debian) version numbers in the name does not make sense if
you want to keep track of changes beyond one (kernel,debian)
version.

i suggest to use the packagename (whithout versions) as the
directory name. the trunk should contain the different packages.

so something like 
blah/pkg-uml/trunk/src/user-mode-linux
                      /rootstrap
                      /uml-utils
would make more sense to me.

If a package is ready to be uploaded i usually pick it up from a
private repository (which we could host on alioth, or just use
Stefano's existing repository) with apt-get source, run a 

/usr/bin/pdebuild --configfile /home/andreas/src/pbuilder-sid.rc --use-pdebuild-internal --debsign-k 7B8357E5

in the directory and upload the result.

Due to suboptimal mailsorting please cc: me personally if i
should upload something (c:
