 Development projects which use arch typically advertise
 the */archive names/* and */archive locations/* of their
 arch databases.  You must find that information for 
 projects you wish to participate in.

 An *archive name* is a "logical name" for an arch database:
 the name describes the database but also all mirrors (copies)
 of the database.

 An *archive location* is a "physical name" for an arch
 database: it provides a URL via which the database can
 be accessed.   All the mirrors of a given archive share
 the same archive name, but each has a different archive 
 location.

 Archive names can be recognized by their distinctive syntax: 
 an email address, followed by two dashes, followed by a suffix.
 The email address (informally) identifies whom to contact
 with questions about the archive.

* The GNU Arch Project Archives

  Examples in this handbook will use the arch archives of the
  GNU Arch project itself.   Here are the current coordinates.
  There are two archives you'll need.   Later sections in this
  chapter will show you how to use this information.  Note
  that two locations are given for each archive: that's because
  the archives are mirrored in more than one place.
