Notes
- USG: though they didn't provide formal feedback, they did indicate that PPA features would be high on their lists:
"Private PPAs. We have the following requirements for Private PPAs:
1 Multiple components in each PPA. We need to deploy closed-source or
restricted code to the PPA. I want that code to go into multiverse or
restricted rather than main.
2 Priority build queue. We can't afford to have PPA builds delayed for
hours because someone else is building gcc"- sabdfl: we should go beyond simply implementing seeds as they currently stand and make package sets a first-class object throughout Launchpad, i.e. "translate the Gnome desktop packages"?
- MOTU: missed Native source syncing, PPA syncing and 3rd party archive syncs, m-o-m, debian debdiffs, debdiff reviews
