Hi Igor, Thank you for question! I will try to explain why we want to add functionality for building deb/rpm packages.
* We want to cover the whole workflow: from building a package till adding that package into the new or existing repository. * We want to consolidate all knowledge about managing packages/repositories in one place. * We want to have a common interface only, which will be based on the existing utilities for building packages. for example: sbuild[1] or Mock[2] [1] https://wiki.debian.org/sbuild [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mock Regards, Bulat Gaifullin Mirantis Inc. > On 25 Jan 2016, at 13:35, Igor Kalnitsky <ikalnit...@mirantis.com> wrote: > > Hey Bulat, > > It's nice to hear that packetary finally got its own repo.
