Yes.   I would actually like to test whether CVS+wiki are self-sufficient to
launch a new (local) build. Given how I have been unable to do one since
Friday, I would have to say no.

As for R-devel and Bioc-devel, I'd say no.  IMHO it is easier to work on the
_current_ bioc with the _current_ R binary in unstable.

The one I refer is a shell script from the wiki that had a syntax error. It
is easier to test and amend if these are in the CVS too.

Stateful information [ what packages are there, what versions have we
package, what versions changed, ... ] can be stored in a db. SQLite is easy
as it is a file, and it can be read from/written to easily with R, Perl,
Python, ...
