Cool - I still don't feel comfortable juggling BTS tags...

Arrgh - fixed now (been broken for _very_ long it seems!).

Do you like Git?

AWStats was one of the first teams I formed. I find svn awkward myself 
and have since learned Git and is very fond of that.

If ok with you both, I'd be _very_ happy to switch to using Git instead.

But probably not for this next upload... :-P

Here's the commands I survive with:

Doing a test-build:

   $ svn-buildpackage --svn-ignore-new

Updating cdbs build-dependencies:

   $ svn-buildpackage --svn-export
   (move to export dir)
   $ DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_DEBIAN_CONTROL=yes fakeroot debian/rules clean
   (copy debian/control to svn debian-dir and commit)

Building final package for release:

   $ svn-buildpackage --svn-tag

Rebuilding final package after fixing last-minute stuff:

   $ svn-buildpackage --svn-tag --svn-retag

Might be that you do fine, actually - and was just off by my broken 
perl-in-shell-in-make code :-P

Well - we just drop a line here on the list asking if there's objection 
to releasing, I guess. Worked fine so far...

I wouldn't mind tighter rules, just haven't come up with any, and we are 
so few here... :-)
