Hello,

Well, i am not formally proposing it, it is just an idea... But i agree
on the fact, it is not a good idea to make it depend on svn...

Well, by the way, maybe this thread rely on a thing i don't have explain
: i am not against arch or svn, or whatever, i only stat that it is a
good thing to have a common place to do the work.

Well of course, debian tools / architecture by itself should be
sufficient, but i was thinking of something more easy to do without
needing to upload things ( ie not NMU ). It is only a personnal case : i
am not a DD and i cannot upload, so every package i build / correct /
break ( yeah i also break things ) need to have a sponsor etc...

With a common place, which i can have access it is simpler to work.

It is just a statement of my personnal opinion... Maybe when -- if -- i
will be a DD, i won't have the same view.

Kind regard
