We have to come to some agreement to which degree we want to control this (i.e. play police). Contrib has been working quite well in this regard, however it still required an occasional check for hidden duplicates (i.e. by using slightly different names). > Related topics: > > These are somehow related to the introduction of a crux.nu hosted > contrib and general repo setup: [...] > - Introduction of project specific repositories: gnome, mythtv, > kde, etc. has been suggested. I'd like to see that too, however we'll have to make sure it doesn't become a nightmare due to too many repositories (also because of inter-repository dependencies). > - Maybe we can take the chance of solving the long time due > task of organizing the repository in a multi-arch friendly > way and eventually put together tools & guidelines. Sounds good, although I don't think the actual hierarchy has a major influence here... but we can discuss this further once we get to it.
