Introducing a new repository for user-contributed codes seems to be necessary for keeping the stability of the distro.
We have some packages which have been imported from the Testing repository of Debian into the main repository of Trisquel as an LTS distro. [1-2] and some have been imported from PPAs [a-e] and some have been backported [A-C] [1] electrum [2] zam-plugins a = cabal-install b = eviacam c = filteraudio d = ghc e = handbare f = midori A = gnome-orca B = red5 C = wxmaxima Having a more strict policy against importing these packages into the main repository will theoretically increase the stability of the distro but in practice some packages may function better by importing them into the repo. All in all, it seems to be a good practice to not let user-contributed non-critical package helpers into the main repo but creating a new repository and name it as 'community' and put all those package helpers there. The end users must have the option to deactivate this repository in favor of a rock solid distro. _______________________________________________ Trisquel-devel mailing list [email protected] http://listas.trisquel.info/mailman/listinfo/trisquel-devel
