Perhaps, if there is sufficient demand to use the transition trackers for UbuntuGIS too. I'd rather not be the SPOF for changes to the ben configuration and move it to some ubuntugis team webspace, lacking that on osgeo.org infrastructure it may be moved to the Debian GIS webspace on Alioth. Since Alioth doesn't have ben installed the cronjob will need to run elsewhere and publish to Alioth. >> Unfortunately the ben tool used for the transition trackers, is not able >> to handle the Ubuntu repositories + PPA repo setup well, it can only use >> the Packages files from the PPA, so you don't see the other reverse >> dependencies available in Ubuntu that haven't been rebuild with the >> library package in the PPA. > > Is it very complicated to add that support to Ben ? The biggest hurdle is learning enough OCaml. Templates for the HTML pages are compiled into some binary format making even that process complicated.
