Furthermore, if there is too difficulty to upload to extras or extras-devel, many dev will make their own repository. And i don't think it s a good idea. But i understand that you want to have a repository were users can rely on and where there is no error on installing packages.--[[User:khertan|khertan]] 11:08, 19 June 2008 (GMT+2)

: I think that your specific problem is mainly for python developers, only developing on the tablet itself. Easiest solution for them would be to improve pypackager so it creates valid archives and can upload the packages. As I understand it is almost doing that already and just might need a few fixes. Sure it would require a little more effort from developers, but they also have an interest in getting their applications to the end user? --[[User:xfade|xfade]] 09:24, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

If i understand well, only package build with autobuilder could be uploaded. If it s the case, i don't think it s a good solution for onboard developpers, as debian tool can't be used directly on the it. If diablo let s us use debian packaging tool directly on tablet it ll not be a problem. (The main problem using dpkg-buildpackage is that many option of many tools aren't available due to busybox).

Furthermore, if there is too difficulty to upload to extras or extras-devel, many dev will make their own repository. And i don't think it s a good idea.
