The rules as distributed by sa-update, with generated scores, are
not available in svn anywhere, right? Right now I have a copy of
the rules in the pkgsrc directory the Debian packaging installs.
It would be nice if I could update those regularly, but launchpad only
supports pulling from "CVS, Subversion (SVN), Git and Mercurial (Hg)"
- https://help.launchpad.net/Code/Imports
But it's not particularly important, since people should be running
sa-update anyway.
Theoretically, you could run an SVN repository just for this, correct?
Can launchpad use things like ssh+svn so we don't have to run a public
svn server and I might be able to help.
If you let me update the debian directory in 3.3, I'll add a PPA for it.
PPA stands for Personal Package Archive. A way of getting updated
packages to people through Ubuntu's packaging system without going
through the official repositories.
These packages / PPA should also work with Debian.
Recommend you open a bug but it sounds like you are recommending a
ubuntu dir and I'd recommend that under the contrib dir. I am still
seriously leaning towards moving the entire debian dir to
contribs/debian. My $0.02 only, though.
