I'm going to remind you of these thanks when you are cursing my name
because I keep asking you to do things. :-)

Sexy interface to tla. Get it from my Eicq repo...

Yeah, I couldn't stand having to deal with more than one Sebastian
Freundt. :-)

Just for completeness: If you were to leave off the directory option
in that tla get command (the "sxemacs" part) it will automatically
name the working dir "sxemacs--main--22.1.0".

I want us to all have GnuPG and for everyone to have signed each
other's keys. My key is available at a keyserver near you, or check
the headers to this email.

It is also not important for your local archive (unless you are access
that via http for some weird reason). The listing flag comes into
play when you create your MIRROR.

This is probably the most important step. Without it nobody,
including yours truly, can access your repo. And if I can't access
your repo you will have to create and send changesets to the mailing
list. You'll hate that. So will I. :-)
Thanks very much for that, Sebastian!!
