Task:Reducing number of external repositories
 |
This is an accepted task and it is currently in the maemo.org development backlog. Probably nothing is stopping you from starting on it, though. Please see the talk page for discussion. |
 |
We're currently working on getting the number of external repositories down to a minimum. Our goal is to have a lot less repositories on gronmayer as soon as possible.
It needs to be clear that we want the packages to be moved to Extras and after that the repository can be closed. The point of this effort is to get as much packages as possible in a central repository, not closing repositories and loosing packages!
This is part of the effort discussed in a talk about the future of Extras at the Maemo summit. More information can be found in this blog post
