+Some basic instructions:
+
+  Initial checkout:
+
+    svn co svn+ssh://<user>@svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-virtualbox/dists/trunk
+
+  Updating a checked out repository:
+
+    svn up (in the directory of the repository)
+
+  Checkin in changes:
+
+    svn ci (in the directory of the repository)
+
+  Adding files:
+
+    svn add <file or dir name>
+
+  Creating dirs:
+
+    svn mkdir <newdir>
+
+  Moving files or dirs:
+
+    svn mv <oldname> <newname>
+
+  Tagging after an upload:
+
+    svn mkdir svn+ssh://<user>@svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-virtualbox/releases/<package>
+    svn cp svn+ssh://<user>@svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-virtualbox/dists/trunk/<package> svn+ssh://<user>@svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-virtualbox/releases/<package>/<version>-<revision>
+
+  Exporting before an upload:
+
+    svn export svn+ssh://<user>@svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-virtualbox/trunk/<package> \
+    	/path/to/build/dir
+
+Upload procedure:
+
+  1) Change the changelog entry from UNRELEASED to unstable.
+  2) export the package.
+  3) go into the exported dir and do the build
+  4) upload.
+  5) checkin the changes.
+  6) tag the package.
+
+Changelog practice:
+
+  When making a change in a package, without having it uploaded,
+  please put the changelog entry to UNRELEASED instead of unstable.
+  When doing the upload, this UNRELEASED tag has to be changed back
+  to unstable.  Additionally, the trailer line should be updated (the
+  line containing the name of the person doing the upload and the
+  date). But then, dch takes care of this for you :)
