I think that it is a good idea, but I dont´s > know the difficulty of implementing it. official repositories are controlled by distributions. example - debian. you must be a debian developer to put anything in. thus it's up to debian developers to do that. there are over 1000+ distributions out there. we can't and are not going to - EVERY go make "official" packages for every distribution around. it's untenable. it's already a massive amount of work just to do a few of the major ones as you need to collect the most recent N versions of each and go build and test pkgs on each. it is up to interested parties to go do this packaging and make packages available to users. i know i don't have the spare time to do even a single distribution - i don't have time to do all that is needed on the development end of things, let alone packaging. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
