Dear Alexander, backport.org people, and everybody, If I understand correctly, it is planned to incorporate the backports.org service as an official Debian repository.
I would like to know if the policy of use for backports.debian.org has already been discussed, drafted or decided. In particular: - Will there still be separate keyrings? - Will there still be a screening at the first upload: a NEW queue? - Who will be allowed to upload backports? - Will the upload policy change? The current upload policy is well adapted to the fact that a backport can be maintained by a different person from the official package maintainers. But when backports are prepared by the same team as the main package, can the rules be relaxed ? Lastly, in echo to the xulrunner thread, I would like to know if it will be possible to maintain a pakcage in backports.org when it is not targetted at a stable release (for instance, when the program is still in a fast development stage).
