As I understand it, upstream is uncooperative, and others have already hinted at distributions@freedesktop, which I second. Someone has also mentioned vcs-pkg, which is why I'd like to take the opportunity to clarify its goal: Without doubt, upstream should be the place where cross-distro integration happens. However, if upstream is not interested, then the idea of vcs-pkg is to have a repo used by all distros, which is suitable for everyone. It doesn't matter where this repo will be hosted, but I think in the long run, vcs-pkg.org or maybe distrodev.org should have storage for those. vcs-pkg.org is on alioth, but non-Debian people might not like being -guests. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems a friend is someone with whom you can dare to be yourself
