For me this is a non-issue : 1/ I have heard lots of good about svk which brings the decentralized thingy upon svn 2/ SVN is *much* more popular than anything else right now (at least within Debian and that what is of interest to me right now, since I want actual Debian developer to make use of this new infrastructure). I know that because I'm an alioth admin where most SVN / arch / bzr / baz / tla / whatever repo for Debian packaging are currently created. 3/ svn-buildpackage exists and works (and I don't know of any bzr equivalent) 4/ SVN is easier to learn for most people and in particular those who have experience with CVS (this might change, I know that bzr has done big steps in the right direction) So I propose to stop here this discussion about VCS before it turns out into a flamewar. :-) > > - we need to let skilled external contributors maintain packages for us > > (when they don't want to become DD) > > Although this might be a bit early in the discussion, I want to raise > awareness of other distributions that are there already and might be > soon there.

But I naturally thought of Ubuntu since we're so close and because it's our interest to stay close ! > I informed the Launchpad team about this discussion, since I think it Who are the members of the Launchpad team ? > might be the best to have some kind of Launchpad integration for this. > http://launchpad.net/distros already shows four distros and the bug > tracker already works nicely across distribution 'borders'. I agree that integration with Launchpad would be interesting, but as long as Launchpad stays a closed-source thing, it will be difficult for Debian to create anything relying on it.
