I am one of the guys pushing for a central repository, but I can't see anything wrong with PPA's either, as long as the following is part of the "code of honor" of people maintaining such PPAs: - A PPA is not used to distribute the 'final' version of a package to all users of a Maemo device. E.g., the main download portal of maemo.org should not advertise packages in PPAs. - All PPAs are known to the maemo.org community, and their maintainers allow NMUs to them, subject to the same rules as NMUs in extras-devel. - Any combination of PPAs must yield a consistent distribution. More concretely: - Packages in one PPA should not depend on packages in another PPA - and they should explicitly declare all conflicts they have with packages in all other PPAs. PPAs _can_ contain overlapping packages (e.g., one PPA has a higher version of a package than another PPA, or in extras-devel), but not by accident. _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
