Greetings all.
>From my participation in different project (PLF, JPackage, Mandrake contribs)
involving rpm repository management, i found they often face similar
problems:
- standardized upload procedure
- repository coherency enforcement
- urpmi & apt index generation
- repository exploration
etc...
Recently, we began to merge JPackage & PLF various scripts into some
project-independant code base, and found many advantages in this approach. I
guess extending it further should even achieve greater benefits.
So, what about starting a new project, dedicated to package repositories
management ? We just have to find a name for it and where to host it...
I send this message to every people that already told me of their interest in
this project, as well as some other that i suspect could also get interested.
I'm also CCing some mailing-list to fish for potentials contributors. Please
don't follow my shameful exemple and get cautious with cross-posting replies.
