Hi, Alfie, your assumption that www-master runs already Etch is wrong. I asked the webmasters because I remove a generated SGML (from PO file) but failed with the same error message during build as in the past (po4a is too old in Sarge).

At least this list should be informed when the upgrade will happen. In the past the decision which packages should be installed happened in private mails and I think this is what Joey prefers for security reasons. At least I remember that he once sent me a list of installed packages and asked me to keep it secret. Also note that the package lists fluctuates. Consider e.g. the current LaTeX transition (which will affect www-master only once Lenny is released).

I remember that I asked webadmins to create a symlink for building Japanese Release Notes (for Sarge) which is now no longer necessary. Some stuff was built externally and put in the working copy on www-master (was at least planned for Vietnamese Release Notes) and some CVS directories where deleted but the working copy not, ... Just assuming working Makefiles and doing a delete of the working copy is not so bad. But I agree that's it's also not required. It could just help to clean some stuff.
