- <enrico> h01ger: you can publish a tag database and have debtags use it right now by editing /etc/debtags/sources.list
- <enrico> h01ger: plus since debian-edu's quite an official debian thing, I can automatically pull from your location into the packages file

- == Creating a debtags database from the debian-edu metapackages ==
- 
-  1. Create a set of tags from the metapackages you have.
-  2. Write down the set of tags following the style of http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/tags/vocabulary.gz 
-  3. For every metapackage you have:
- 
-   1. Take the name of the metapackage
-   2. Replace it with the tag you made for it
-   3. Take the dependencies of the metapackage
-   4. For every dependency, spit out a line like {{{pkgname: tag}}}
- 
-  4. Run the output through {{{tagcoll copy}}} to make it more compact
-  5. Try out the result as you can find in the "Can I create my own set of tags and add them to all the packages I want?" section of http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/faq.html
-  6. Put the two files ({{{vocabulary.gz}}} and {{{package-tags.gz}}} online somewhere, then people will be able to access them by adding the tag source to their {{{/etc/debtags/sources.list}}}
