Re: How much interest in a "debian-science.org" repository?

An easier way might be just to make a web page that has all the

the user can just paste them into their sources.list and apt-get update.
If the page was a wiki, newly found repositories could be added easily.

Another way would be to make a debian package that updates your sources.list
with new sources.list lines for unofficial repositories. That way, you could
do: apt-get install debian-science, and the package installation script will
run apt-get update for you.


But the potential of the more full-fledged idea would be to build the pacakges for all the available architectures. An automated system would be preferred for this.
