        I have a section titled "A day in the Life" on maintaining a
 Debian package using Arch over at:

        http://arch.debian.org/arch/private/srivasta/
 I have tried to detail the workflow I used; and while I have
 streamlined my workflow since I put up that page by adding personal
 scaffolding around arch, the underlying structure remains the same.

        I'll be happy to answer questions; though I am away on a
 business trip the rest of this week; I might  find time to answer
 non-work related email.
