why would puting our deb's out there help support apt-rpm anyway? that uses
rpm's

redhat has its own setup, its own dependancies and its own directory
structure.

The .deb archives are already linked to from packages.debian.org, as for 
apt-rpm, read what Chris said :D However, if there are unofficial Debian 
packages of KDE programs that are not yet part of Debian, we may consider 
linking to those, with a not-supported-officially-dont-bug-us-if-it-dont-work 
kind of disclaimer. Keeping this list of mirrors current may be a problem.

How would supporting RedHat help convert them to Debian? :)  Isn't KDE already
in RedHat anyway?  If RedHat wants to use apt-rpm then they are free to
setup their own mirrors to use with it.

What might be useful:

o list of all kde packages for testing + kde unstable ;)
o kde pkg version in stable, testing and unstable (+ link to why not in 
testing?)
o numbered submit bugs in last, e.g. 3 days

The first thing that comes to mind is a list of sites where the .deb archives
are kept at.
And this is NOT just for .deb(ian) We also need to support apt-rpm if 
we can.
I'd like to see some archives for the (don't scream at me!!) apt-rpm sites
too. I don't 'like' RedHate, but with the new apt that is in it, it sure
would be sweet if we could support it. (convert those fadora wearin'
strangers!)

Hello everyone,

I recently volunteered to create and maintain the new kde.debian.net website. 
Currently I am planning to have news on the latest package updates and severe 
problems that users should look out for (such as the recent libpng stuff) as 
well as an FAQ. Apart from these, I am not sure what users would like to see 
on the web site and as such I am writing here to ask for suggestions. Apart 
from news & docs, what would people like to see on the website? I do not 
intend to duplicate content, so anything that's already on the *.kde.org 
sites will likely not be added.
