I tried to move bmpx from testing to extra but it doesn't work.  First, 
the '-f' switch doesn't it's '--force'. I ran 'archrelease extra' in the 
trunk directory then did the package move  and db-script on gerolde but it 
only removed the testing package. The  package in extra is still at the 
old version. It seems that the command should be 'archrelease 
extra-$arch'. Is that correct? I tried that then ran the db-script after copying the package to my staging 
dir but it doesn't work.  Can someone fix this and clarify the process?

I also tried to update firefox3 for unstable x86_64. When running 
unstablepkg I got:
$ unstablepkg
firefox3-3.0b5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz 
100%   11MB  91.1KB/s   02:03
File integrity okay.
===> Uploaded firefox3-3.0b5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
===> Commited with "upgpkg: firefox3 3.0b5-1" message
~/svnroot/firefox3 ~/svnroot/firefox3/trunk
Nothing to commit
~/svnroot/firefox3/trunk
===> Tagged for unstable-x86_64

The package was uploaded to my staging directory and I ran the db script.

This has happened a couple of time. Am I trying to update packages that 
have already been uploaded to another dev staging dir? Or is there another 
problem.

Thanks.
