Reached the state where I can do packaging:
1. Installed Mer SDK
2. Revived my MeeGo.com account (password of course forgotten, and the server 
did not sent out the new one for a few days, but at least today finally)
3. Setup OSC locally
4, Checkout Project:KDE:Devel calligra
5. Build packages locally with
   osc build --no-verify Mer_Core-next_CE_UX_PlasmaActive_i586 i586

So far everything worked :)
(modulo try & error bumping on the way to get there, but no animals or humans 
were hurt, minimal data loss, like when accidentally untaring the SDK tarball 
in the own home directory, doh)

Notes are taken and will be added to the wiki, once I am sure of the process.

Now the next questions:
1. Is the YAML file or the spec file used? (any good intro into YAML?)
2. How is review done for spec/yaml changes?
3. Is there a way to run the PA shell from inside the Mer SDK and test the 
locally created packages, with Xephyr or similar?

Cheers & Good night
