I don't see how OBS may help us. The proposal from Ganneff about bikesheds was much nicer (ie: using our already existing buildd and FTP infrastructure, and keeping our quality standard), than then path this thread is taking. If we are to propose sub-standard PPA like repositories, I would myself try to avoid them. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
