Let me clarify FTP-master takes care of `dak` which is meant to publish packages, OBS places sources and binaries in a directory and runs `dpkg-scanpackages` which is suboptimal, I have (locally) added a hook to plug-in `reprepro` to do this management for me, however I assume it should not be hard to plug-in `dak`. > Several questions about the OBS service: > - you claimed the DNS entry, but haven't done anything with it yet.

I have not bother too much to look for hardware resources. Regards -- Héctor Orón -.. . -... .. .- -. -.. . ...- . .-.. --- .--. . .-.
