Hi, thanks for that :)

Browsing the dists/ dir in the repo indicates that there are some more
suites available, squeeze, jessie and maybe some sub-suites, would it be
possible for you to add them?
The derivatives census patch generation relies on derivatives shipping
source packages in their apt repository but the Proxmox repo doesn't
seem to contain any source packages. A brief scan indicates that the git
repo probably contains all of the source though.
Adding auto-built source packages would enable:
* Preventing accidental AGPL/GPL/LGPL license violations
* Users to find your source packages with debcheckout/apt-get
source
* The census to generate patches and expose them to maintainers
* You to implement reproducible builds for Proxmox

Ok, thanks.

Excellent. There will be some derivatives related events:
https://summit.debconf.org/debconf15/meeting/261/debian-derivatives-discussion/
https://summit.debconf.org/debconf15/meeting/262/debian-derivatives-panel/
https://summit.debconf.org/debconf15/meeting/263/debian-derivatives-infra-work-session/
https://summit.debconf.org/debconf15/meeting/264/debian-derivatives-patches-work-session/
The panel is fairly full already but if you would like to be a backup in
case someone can't make it, that would be good.

Great :)

Interesting, thanks for the info.
