I wonder if it might be worthwhile to have some sort of informal web ring of people who serve their fink along these lines: http:// fink.sourceforge.net/doc/advanced/bindist.php?phpLang=en

I make mine available to my user community, but as long as the user accepts it (and the associated risks) as-is, and doesn't overwhelm my server, I'd be willing to do that.

I'd be willing to contribute any .debs I have. It would also be useful to have a daily script that could check to see which of my debs needed copying to the server.

Bandwidth might become a concern though, as something like this could become quite popular.

Popular? yes. Easy? kinda. Secure? no. The reason we haven't done this yet is because of the ease of making a package that contains malicious code. It's nothing to make a bunch of debs that contain trojans that would damage your machine, or give me complete control of it. I don't recommend doing this unless you know and trust the person very much.
