Please commit to CVS frequently. I like to have a look and test it.

Have you get the patch for the woody-packaging from Jerome ?

The Howto for repli-sync is what you get with my last mail. I update it
after the known bugs are fixed.

The Howto for repli-install can be a rewrite of chapter 4 of your
Replicator-UserGuide.tex.

Whats up with the source format of the documentation. I like to write
docs with LyX. Are you using another tool that directly reads/writes
LaTeX ? I see the following possibilities.

a) I rewrite all docs using LyX and we put the lyx-file in CVS and the
   debian source package. The debian/rules can than build the docs
   using e.g.:
   lyx -x buffer-open Source-File.lyx -e ps
   But then we Build-Depends on LyX and some additional tools.

b) I rewrite all docs using LyX and we put the lyx-file and a manually=20
   generated LaTex-file in CVS. The package-building scripts will only
   use the LaTeX-file but all changes go to the LyX-file.
  =20
c) You tell my which tools you use to write the last docs and I have a
   look if it is to much work to learn it. (I do not want to learn
   LaTeX, except a few single commands)

What do you think?

I have zero experience in IRC. I can try it if it is important, but
because of my slow english typespeed and full diary I feel I like
e-mail more. I can write it when I have time and you can read it when
you have time.


Should we keep discussing on replicator-user, create a replicator-devel
or simply CC all interested persons (you, Jerome and me?)
I prefer replicator-devel.
