Yes, I think so.

That, and the whole patch you attached, make a *lot* of sense, but
unfortunately we can't do that right now:

On www.gnuenterprise.org, a nightly cron job checks out an SVN version
of the GNUe tools, builds the documentation (including epydoc), updates
the web page, uploads the nightly builds...

However, www.gnuenterprise.org runs on a version of Debian too old to
run Bazaar. So for the time being we are stuck with SVN, by keeping our
main repository in bzr and pushing bzr into svn from time to time.

The long term plan is to move our infrastructure from
www.gnuenterprise.org to the standard GNU infrastructure anyway, and
I've started last year by at least uploading our releases to
ftp.gnu.org, but it'll require a lot more work to move things off of
www.gnuenterprise.org since there's a lot of automatic magic running
there.

Thanks,
Reinhard
