Did you try to look it up? I'm surprized you didn't find any information. A quick primer: - create an alioth account - request this account to be added to collab-maint (usually takes some hours) - checkout / commit in collab-maint over svn+ssh:// You don't even need step 1 to start playing with the vala packages in the collab-maint SVN: svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/collab-maint/ext-maint/vala/trunk cd trunk svn-buildpackage (Just put the vala tarball in ../tarballs.) > Mathias had also stopped working on packaging when you have pushed in on > collab, probably for the same reason. I pushed it to some SCM because one of you was pushing one codebase while the other was giving me another and I couldn't review anything in this mode; at least having *one* SCM made it clear where I would get the changes, and both of you would easily get access. It's really a common expectation that you keep your debian/ in some SCM these days, but if the choice of SVN or collab-maint in particular were a problem, you should have spoken up at that time. I tried to help the best I could in the best interest of the package and of us three by doing the import myself instead of putting the burden on you. > Sorry to not being as Debian fluent as you.

It's not a problem to not be "Debian fluent"; I'm prepared to help you learn any new stuff you would need by pointing out mistakes or suggesting the right approach, but I do expect that you tell me when you meet a problem. -- Loïc Minier
