Hello Jörg,
I read in http://ftp-master.debian.org/wiki/projects/data/ that the data
archive will require full source uploads. But if the source package is not a
simple downloader, this will duplicate the data and double the size of the
upload and the archive. Would it be possible to accept binary-only uploads? I
ask the question in particular because with one of our tools, getData, I am
considering to produce binary pakcages from scratch (or with a helper tool like
equivs, for instance). That way, the data package can originate from a signed
official package distributed in the main archive, but does not need a Debian
source package.
Have a nice day,
