Moving to an APT repository

 

Hello,
after some discussion I think it is very clear that we MUST move to a
repository distribution, there are some risks and limitations, those
will need to be mitigated with better QA and good information for the
users.

The objective is to have the the apt repository and the getdeb web
interface (powered by APT-Portal) available before 9.10, it would be
excellent to have it ready during the 9.04  release date, however due
to the short time that will be very hard to achieve.

We will be providing updates with the current interface/processes
until GetDeb v2(sounds nice) is ready, at the time the existing .deb
download interface will no longer be available.

I would prefer that people with the required development skills to
move their focus to GetDeb v2, but that is a personal decision.

Best regards,
