Yeah, I forgot that one... let me summarize:

== Updating the repos (for both cases above) ==
   ssh to gerolde
   cp /home/ftp/repo/os/ARCH/package ~/staging/repo/del/
   cp /home/ftp/repo/os/ARCH/package ~/staging/NEWrepo/add/
   run the db scripts
   (slightly different for ARCH-64 guys with the common staging dir)
