Bug#865830: RFP: seafile-server - An online file storage and collaboration tool



Dear Alexandre,

thanks for your lots of work!

First of all, I'd like to reference some discussions in the upstream
support forum:
https://forum.seafile.com/t/what-about-reproducible-builds/3125/11 and
https://forum.seafile.com/t/about-the-future-of-seafile-repository-packages/49/2

I'm adding my two cents on the stuff below:

Thanks for that!

I'd say that at least fsck, fuse and gc are quite important for an end
user, so I think those should be kept.

I very much like that! :-D

Therefore, I created a new bug right here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=887361
Although I actually just found this forum post:
https://forum.seafile.com/t/seafile-server-and-seafile-client-packaging-guidelines/662/9
