I hope very soon. We're trying to come up with a model that will satisfy all user groups, e.g. "latest and greatest" vs "mature and stable", "OK in US" vs "OK in the rest of the world", "Replace base packages" vs "pure add ons". And last but not least with a sensible name. And BTW even though this is all very unofficial yet: Anyone with interest to package additional software is welcome to join up and also shape the early roadmap. > Of course it has more serious dimension - practical one.

Well, I've never really encountered anyone that disapproved that much about the status quo, but for sure the situation can be improved quite a lot by joining the horsepowers together. Which will not mean that it will be "one repo, and nothing else". We all believe in the plethora of repos and will welcome any other existing or to be created repo that will cooperate with us. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
