    I don't understand. Have we even released 0.11???

    Right now, we have _two_ revisions marked as UNRELEASED in
trunk/debian/changelog. That SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN. I guess Rudi wanted to add
his entry to 0.11, and _perhaps_ upload.

    Hmmm... do we have SVN usage guidelines? I guess it's time to write
them... My proposal:

------------------------------------- 8< -------------------------------------
Getting changelog entries right
===============================

At all moments, the topmost changelog entry should be for the "UNRELEASED"
distribution. Every change will be documented in that entry (the latest, still
unreleased). If you find zero or two (or more) changelog entries for the
"UNRELEASED" distribution, you should mail
pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org to discuss and sort it
out, _before_ doing further changes or commits.

Releasing new package revisions
-------------------------------

When you're about to _upload_ a new package revision (i.e. only if you are a
DD), you should:

1) Update your repository (just in case).
2) Rebuild the package (without --svn-ignore-new!).
3) Check everything is alright and do whatever tests you always do.
4) Change the latest changelog entry distribution to "unstable" (or whatever
   is appropriate).
5) Rebuild again, with the --svn-tag option.
6) Upload the package.
7) Commit the new changelog entry for the UNRELEASED distribution.
