brings recreating test environments, setting up compilers, ODBC links, reinstall of the patch-generator (my own, based on NSIS, which I highly recommend) and particularly, checking out modules, source code and making sure that all the source directories in CVS are actually up-to-date.
Setting up the development environment wasn’t the hardest part: making sure that the Postgres server home normally restarted was harder. I wonder if I missed out on an apt-update bug once again.
