Laura: I read your proposal in #922222 to deal with this situation. However, I wonder if we shouldn't switch to the solution, that's used for other documentation in cron/parts/7doc (means: grap the documentation files from the latest uploaded package version from the archive, instead of from VCS repo). I realize there might be a reason for using a different system here, but as manpower is an issue everytime here, my argument would be: make the system easier (use the same system everywhere) instead of maintaining different solutions. Of course, this would lead to more packaging work for the relevant doc packages (for debian-history: we would need to do at least one upload per year, to get the new leader documented on the website). But looking at Laura's proposal, we are talking only about a very little number of packages (if we leave out the /attic ones), so I think that could work. I would volunteer for that upload work, if per-package upload rights were given to me. I have a tested patch for debian-history (against webmaster cron) ready and attached. (Once this is up and running on www-master, there are also some changings needed in webwml though, but they are IMO uncritical.) Any comments?
