OK, thanks for that offer. We’ll need to decide how we’re going
to handle the extensions first, though.

This really does not match *at all* with the recommended way
to do things in Debian, and, in FusionForge, where upstream
and packaging are hosted in the same repository, with the
basic idea of sharing code/patches/install scripts/etc. makes
horrible problems. So much that I pushed for a split on our
developer meeting and could get a consensus for that.

Glad to know.

We’ll probably have our own repositor_ies_, one for mw-core,
one or more for the extensions, and import something from
yours there (by way of git pull origin1, git push origin2).
What that will be (for the extensions) is still undecided.
