Hi, I know that data.debian.org is not yet there, but I wonder whether there is already a concept, i.e. a set of requirements that packages have to fulfil to qualify for this archive?
I assume packages would have to be architecture 'all', but other than that I wonder whether there will be any significant differences from regular packaging? In particular: * size constraints: lower and upper limit When does a data package need to move data.d.o and when would it be too much for that one too? * relation to other Debian packages Does data.d.o accept any data "standalone" package, or is it only meant for packages that serves as dependencies for other Debian packages? * compression of content Any policy to enforce compressed file formats regarding the stuff installed by a data package? * approach to avoid wasting archive space If a data package simply installs the content of a tarball, it would have the tarball content two times (one in source package and the identical content in the binary package). Is that taken as a fact, or is there an approach to handle this case more efficiently?
