Hello, After some discussion we finally decided to go ahead with the renaming of the contrib repository. Devesh has stated all the reasons[1] earlier, so I am not going to repeat those. I do hope it will not generate a big chaos and confusion among us.
Practically no one should notice anything with the change. We have a contrib symlink to extras, so Application Manager (old cmd line apt-get) should be able to access the old location. The symlink will exist as long as we do not find a use for a separate "contrib". AFAIK there is no plan right now to create such a repository. Uploaders should be able to upload using their old /etc/dput.cf, but I would recommend to change the appropriate section in dput.cf to this: [garage] login = <your_garage_login_name> fqdn = garage method = scp hash = md5 allow_unsigned_uploads = 0 incoming = /var/www/extras/incoming More info on the extras repository can be found at [2]. If you have any questions please drop me an email.
