DebPool is a Debian package archiver written in Perl by Joel Aelwyn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Like mini-dinstall it's a lightweight replacement for "the real deal" that manages Debian's package archive, but unlike mini-dinstall it uses a full pool layout. The current version is 0.2.3 and it's in the experimental distribution.
Since I liked it very much I immediately started adding and rewriting code and submitting my suggestions for improvement to the BTS, but unfortunately Joel seems to be gone; he hasn't uploaded anything or commented on any bugs for over eight months. I don't want debpool to die, especially not with all the hours I spent on it... I could of course fork it (except that it wouldn't really be a fork since I'd continue in the same general direction, and also it isn't much of a fork unless the original branch continues to grow), but first I'd like to ask if anyone else has an interest in this package and could think of cooperating with me. -- Magnus Holmgren [EMAIL PROTECTED] (No Cc of list mail needed, thanks)
