You only need create a little script that download the repo, check if it has changes, then generate the new tarballs and go. The .tgz files can be uploaded to dockapps.org or where you want. These tarballs could be used by final users or package managers. You can set the new version using something like "+git_yyyymmdd". > 2. Dockapps uses different versioning schemes.

We will have all github social features, I don't like github :-) The kix account is used by other (kix.in, Anant, I met him in a OS conference, is like a joke, but is true), but that is other history. Anyway. Do that (every application in different repo) has many many work: If you do that, is not my problem. But, you will solve the problems? The problem 1 could be solved, but the "problem" 2 not. Please, don't change the version numbers for the dockapps only for repo change. > like forks, pull requests, issues and stuff.
