Hi,

at first thanks Magnus and Frank for the hint to find a documentaion
only package to look at. Finally I managed to get working packages, that
install mbox-archives of mailinglists under /usr/share/doc/mailinglists

(by the way: is this the right list for questions like this? If not just
tell me which one is better :-)

But some questions still remain (indeed I haven't read all new
maintainer and policy doc yet, but quite a bit already):

By now each package installs his files in

/usr/share/doc/mailinglists/<listname>/<yyyymm>.mbox

using a 'install' statement in debian/rules.

I've done this because this builds some archive like structure beneath
/usr/share/doc/mailinglists to work with instead of having one directory
per month and list :-)

Apart form this file, it installs some copyright notice as the package
did where I looked at and like it is described in the policy manual that
every package needs to have one and it's changelog.

So, what copyright to use for a mailinglist archive? And is there any
other comment about the way I'm doing these package(s)?

Any comment is greatly welcome :-)

Cheers,
Jan

PS: I could put my test project on some webserver if someone would like
to look at it..
