[debpool] debexpo: Debian GSoC

[Andres Mejia]

Have you seen this snippet from the announcement?

"Jonny Lamb will work on debexpo, a web-based Debian package repository to  
allow everyone to upload and provide personal package repositories. It 
includes functionality for sponsors to easily review packages and should ease 
contribution to Debian by offering an easy way to contribute packages for 
software not yet included in Debian."

It's more or less the idea I had in mind for debpool. In fact, I've been 
thinking about implementing some kind of webUI for debpool for a while, 
although there's still other things left to be done, like fixing all bugs in 
the BTS. Here's their wiki page with more details.

It's been announced about a week ago, so I suppose there hasn't been much 
activity going on for debexpo. In any case, I've already requested to join 
them.

If the project does produce results like what debtorrent did last year, I 
can't see myself working on debpool any longer. However if the project proves 
to be a failure (like what happened two years ago with the torrent project 
for apt), I'll be sticking with debpool.

By the way, Magnus, did you finish reviewing my changes to debpool? I got 
debpool packages ready for upload at mentors.debian.net.
