[Pkg-grass-general] DebianGIS archive on alioth

["Francesco P. Lovergine" <frankie@debian.org>]

We got it :)

The archive is up and running. Interested people need to have an account
on alioth and communicate me their usernames to be added to the pkg-grass
group. 
	
Uploads can be done using scp method on alioth in a suitable
incoming directory, so a configuration entry for dupload (but dput can be used too) 
for instance is:

 $cfg{'debian-gis'} = {
        fqdn => "alioth.debian.org",
        method => "scpb",
	login => "frankie",				# use your username
	visibleuser => "frankie",			# use your email user
	visiblename  => "debian.org",			# use your email domain
	fullname => "Francesco Paolo Lovergine",	# use your full name
        incoming => "/var/lib/gforge/chroot/home/groups/pkg-grass/incoming",
        dinstall_runs => 0,
 };

The archive currently uses debpool which run hourly. I'll add a dinstall-like
script ASAP to notify by email archive modifications and whenever possible an
additional gpg check onto the files (more information about that will come when 
possible). This is regular debian uploading archive, so you will need to 
upload source, binaries and changes files.

The archive is apt-gettable as:

deb http://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/archive	unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/archive unstable main contrib non-free

You can use stable, unstable, testing distributions for woody, sarge, sid as usual.
Currently only i386 arch is present, other archs could be considered, but
there is not a buildd network, so binaries upload would need to be done
manually.

Also, the archive is currently sadly empty. Start uploads folks!
I hope we can have there all unofficial packages and surely backports
for woody (and sarge in the future).

Happy hacking

PS: Feel free to ask for clarifications and problem reports.
