Quaker uses those repos and builds debs of E17 periodically already as I sais, we will keep using them if you are not going to create another adress. My suggestion is we can use our repos to upload these packages :) Just talk with quaker about it, he's the repos boss! > > > > This question I'm asking is because for OpenGEU we have a repository, > quaker > > manages it, and he periodically compiles E17. > > yes, I'm talking a lot with quaker, Lutin and other interested peers > over the past days.

We will be in upstream, I'm sure of it, when we'll be stable. For Ubuntu at least. I don't know debian policies but Ubuntu won't host officially our E17 packages unless they are stable. So, whenever libraries will become stable, we'll be able to ask Ubuntu to host them in their officla repos and time by time, the entire E will hopefully be in Ubuntu :) Don't worry, we'll strictly collaborate, if you wish, to transform this into reality.
