> How do you recommend I proceed with putting this into arch.

Of course it is possible to put this whole tree into
postgresql--devel--1, but then we could not utilize the merging power
of arch. Each subdirectory (postgresqlX.Y) looks exactly like our
current structure, so I would create five projects instead, with the
names I proposed in my initial mail.

So I try to write down the steps (untested!):

0. Register archive and make it your default:

   tla register-archive sftp://LOGIN@arch.debian.org/arch/pkg-postgresql/pk=
g-postgresql-private@lists.alioth.debian.org--2004
   tla my-default-archive pkg-postgresql-private@lists.alioth.debian.org--2=
004

   (I just created this new repository, see my previous mail).

1. cd postgresql/postgresql8.0

2. tla init-tree postgresql--devel--8.0

3. tla add postgresql8.0-8.0.0beta4 postgresql8.0-8.0.0beta4/debian
   tla add postgresql8.0-8.0.0beta4/debian/*
   tla add postgresql8.0-8.0.0beta4/debian/patches/*
   tla add postgresql8.0-8.0.0beta4/debian/po/*

   (i. e. add everything but orig.tar.gz and tar.bz2 files; please
   make sure you do this within a totally clean tree).

4. Import it into the repository:

   tla import -S

   (-S means to call archive-setup automatically; it will create the
   new branches and versions).

5. Repeat for the other major versions, and for the common module. I
   propose postgresql-common--devel--1 as project name.

Happy committing! Please ask me if you have problems. Until we really
use these archives for development, it does not really hurt if
something goes wrong though :-)

If you have an urgent question, you can also find me in #ubuntu (on
irc.freenode.net, nick 'pitti').
