Packaging CVS snapshots?
Hello, people, I'm interested in packaging periodic CVS snapshots of licq and lopster for my personal use. Some folks at #debian-devel suggested me to use dbs, but I just couldn't figure out how yet. Can anyone give me some clues, or could anyone that does/has done this give me a hand? Thanks, Carlos. -- _ _ _| _ _ | _ . _ | _ Who controls the past, controls the future.
