It was ok :). I get the results in one week.

I already use cvs for the debian-dirs, installing a branch is on my todo
list.

Yes, after the build of course not. But for the building it's needed.
ribosome needs the BIF-paths otherwise it won't find the bif-files.

Jap, there will be a 1.0.1 release with i10n-updates and bugfixes. When
this is released, I update the tarball with my make-script. Do you think
we should use the official tarballs from hc.org?

The current 1.0.0 tarball is at the moment not up-to-date with the
bingo-gold branch. I did the download of this tarball when 1.0.0 was
released.
