* never change a running system. It went fine the last couple of
years with our build scripts in jed-extra/tools.
* just like the rest of the jed packaging, jed-extra will eventually be
moved to version control by git.

I'd rather export to some suitable place and from there get the upstream
tarball with
debian/rules get-orig-source
Actually, I use/recommend the jed-extra/utils/build-from-svn-copy script

which basically does::
UPSTREAM_VERSION=`perl -ne '/\(([\d.pre]+)-?/; print $1; exit' < debian/changelog`
# Get the upstream tarball
debian/rules get-orig-source
# Unpack
tar -xzf jed-extra_$UPSTREAM_VERSION.orig.tar.gz
# Copy the debian/ subdir to the source tree
install -d jedmodes-$UPSTREAM_VERSION/debian
cp -uRf debian/* jedmodes-$UPSTREAM_VERSION/debian
# Build and test
cd jedmodes-$UPSTREAM_VERSION
debuild -i -us -uc # do not sign, ignore SVN entries
# this is how I call it for local test builds

He now is. I hope we can leave our past differences behind us and work
together to keep the Jed packaging project alive.
I also added DM-Upload-Allowed.

I am fine with both approaches.
a) I could add Marc as developer to the group if he and Jörg agree on this.
b) Alternatively, I'd ask you, Jörg, to take on the job of uploading
"jed-extra" (getting a signed package from Marc for the initial
maintainer upload).
The SVN sources are ready for building version jed-extra_2.5.5-1.
It's lintian clean and "works for me". (The changelog currently has my
email, I suppose this needs to be changed.)
Also, after I got somewhat aquited with git and use it for my local
work, I am happy with having the jed-extra packaging files under git
version control (alongside the rest of our packages). I just don't
want to do the conversion myself.
Thanks,
Günter
