Re: Fwd: protontypes wants to support the Debian Project with LibreSelery

Hi. With respect, I'd like to challenge the idea that integrating more ways to get funded would undermine some core aspect of Debian. I think there are two aspects that I consider when I think about the idea that Debian is not funded by a particular company: 1) Independence. Many people join Deb

Re: Fwd: protontypes wants to support the Debian Project with LibreSelery

Here is the rough concept of LibreSelery: 1. LibreSelery is a AGPL licenced command line tool that takes a git folder as an argument. 2. It collects all email addresses of the main project and all dependencies that can be resolved from https://libraries.io/ API. In this way, most package sys
