Awesome, thanks a lot! You did a really great job with integrating
ostree as a package with Debian, I didn't get that far back then when
working on it.
The package currently seems to have vanished from the archive index
pages, I guess it's just a temporary glitch...

Sounds good :) My idea would be a new team for bundled-apps, since
there's quite some software belonging into that category... (Maybe
something AppStream would fit in too)
But for now, I think, adding another team just to add another team is
useless if it's just us two working on it, so we can add a new team
when it's actually needed :-)

Thanks again for working on this!

Cheers,
Matthias

I've uploaded ostree to experimental NEW, with both of us in Uploaders.
The packaging repository is in collab-maint:
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/ostree.git
Contributions, changes and co-maintainers welcome.

For now I've set the maintainer to the Utopia team because I'm a member
of that team and not pkg-packagekit, but I'd be happy to hand it over
to any relevant team, as long as I don't end up made responsible for
software I don't use.

It would be nice if the git repo could stay in collab-maint if another
team takes it, rather than requiring special group membership: I'm trying
out an approach inspired by

for this group of packages.

2016-02-01 Thread Simon McVittie 
[Re-sending because it doesn't seem to have reached the bug, with links
added; sorry if you get this twice.]

Hi,
I've been looking at ostree recently, with the intention of using it in
conjunction with xdg-app. David King and Alexander Larsson have made
some Ubuntu PPA packages, which don't necessarily have all the
integration that you had in mind, but they have the advantage of already
existing. Even if they can only deploy non-Debian distributions, that's
a good start.

Would you mind if I tidy up those packages and get them into experimental?

Would you like to be a co-maintainer?

I had been intending to put them under the pkg-utopia umbrella, but
collab-maint might be more appropriate if people outside that team are
interested.

Here is my work-in-progress and a blog post about it:

Hi!
I'm currently at a post-FOSDEM sprint, so I have less time - a
detailed reply will follow :-)

That sounds like a good plan! For OSTree I wanted to upload it when it
is fully useful for its intended purpose in Debian, that is managing
the base system with it. I'm obviously not yet there.
I would have worked on xdg-app already, but it currently depends on
the obsolete libgsystem, which I didn't want to (re)introduce in
Debian, also I have a lot of work already - so thanks for working on
this matter!
I would like to help with it and co-maintain the package. Also talked
with Alexander Larsson a bit about xdg-app on Debian this FOSDEM.
Regarding packaging teams, I wonder whether it would make sense to
start a new team and move related software under that umbrella.
Specificallly, putting xdg-app, Limba, AppStream, appstream-glib and
ostree together might make sense - right now,I am maintaining most of
them in the pkg-packagekit Git repo.


> Would you like to be a co-maintainer?
Yes, definitely :-) Thank you for asking me!

Thanks, I hopefully have time to read this this evening.

Greetings from Brussels!

OSTree is a tool for developing, building, and deploying Linux-based operating

distributions. However, it is not a package system (though one could be built 
on top).

I have to say I thus don't understand what it does if it's similar to
dpkg/rpm but is not a package system. What does it do that dpkg/rpm do
which is not package management?

I guess you should add something like: it installs binaries, but
replacing the package abstraction with [...] (what?), and add usage
examples.
