not now ;) 

I wish we could create such a community to support and maintain in QA all the 
needed debian scripts.

There are plenty of part-time 389 packager for debian, ubuntu & co, everyone 
with his own repo. I tried to contact a lot of people these days, and only one 
responded...

Afaik all the packaging job is done outside the 389 community: to me this is 
wrong.

The sabayon packaging taught me that distro-specific issues can improve the 
knowledge of the software.

So the point: we need one "official" place tied to the 389 community. The 
repository doesn't have to be the 389 one, but anyway should be something more 
official.

Glad to hear from you+Peace,
R.

PS: About the repos: I still manage several project on sourceforge, so I don't 
have to create another account.
