With the upcoming refocus of mud[1] to assist with developing,
packaging and uploading to the extras auto-builder, one of the
requirements I've identified in the new design document is to help
people by using scp to upload the files in the right order:

mud has already made it trivial to re-package and re-upload libgee[2]
from an upstream Ubuntu source, and it's already in extras-devel. I'm
having a few problems with vim (exposing mud bugs and autobuilder
issues), and plan to upload the vala[3] compiler at some point this
weekend.

Cheers,

Andrew
