No. It was meant during the transition from Scott to the band of four
people who agreed to take care of the package when he decided to slow
down his involvment in dpkg development.

It is currently unused and should indeed be removed from any
reference. The package development list is this very list.

Ah, no, this is a Sourceforge-like thing where you can put up releases
that Alioth serves out.  Not horribly useful for Debian, just a feature of
the underlying software that Alioth is running.

I know nothing about Alioth's file upload capabilities; I was thinking 
that "released" in this context meant anything placed in the 
repository, and expected to see the dpkg source tree.

That much I figured.  :-)

Ah, OK.  "SVN repository on Alioth" != alioth.debian.org

Is [EMAIL PROTECTED] a private mailing list for members of the 
alioth.debian.org dpkg project?

Thanks.

Why would you ever use Alioth's file upload capability for a Debian
project as opposed to simply uploading the package to Debian?

Or, well, like pretty much every other project on Alioth, since none of
that stuff except for the mailing lists and every once in a while the home
page tends to be useful.  Mostly people use Alioth for the Subversion
access it controls and occasionally for mailing lists.

I don't understand that question.

Which mailing lists and how do interested parties subscribe to them?
How does one access the "SVN repository on Alioth"?

"Project Home Page" links to the non-existent http://www.dpkg.org

"Mailing Lists"  says "0 public mailing lists"

the "Anonymous FTP Space" is empty

"Latest News" shows "No News Items Found"

Generally, http://alioth.debian.org/projects/dpkg/ looks like a project 
which died before it ever started.

Because we upload them to Debian?

That you'll have to ask the alioth admins. But it's easy to track, we
have several mailing lists and then there's the svn repo itself.

> etc.?

If you have something else in mind please say it explicitely.

Why does http://alioth.debian.org/projects/dpkg/ not show any released 
files, activity, etc.?
