Re: Debian Package Repository...

[Xavier Brochard]

Great idea !
I would strongly suggest to build with SuSE Open Build Service (will be 
hosted too), because it can be easily shared with other packagers and 
hopefully you can end with one repo for many Linux distributions. Fred 
Kiefer already use it for SusE and Fedora packages, and I use it myself 
for packaging NextSpace project. For small teams sharing the work is 
better.
