DebPool is a Debian package archiver written in Perl by Joel Aelwyn
<fenton@debian.org>. Like mini-dinstall it's a lightweight replacement
for "the real deal" that manages Debian's package archive, but unlike
mini-dinstall it uses a full pool layout. The current version is 0.2.3 and
it's in the experimental distribution.
Since I liked it very much I immediately started adding and rewriting code and
submitting my suggestions for improvement to the BTS, but unfortunately Joel
seems to be gone; he hasn't uploaded anything or commented on any bugs for
over eight months. I don't want debpool to die, especially not with all the
hours I spent on it...
I could of course fork it (except that it wouldn't really be a fork since I'd
continue in the same general direction, and also it isn't much of a fork
unless the original branch continues to grow), but first I'd like to ask if
anyone else has an interest in this package and could think of cooperating
with me.
