If you prime the depository from a Debian depository master, but deliver it a la swarm delivery (using all the online Freedomboxes as a content delivery network, internally, and verify the signatures using the official key), would that be still Debian? > > I seem to detect some unnecessary antagonism in a few of your past > > emails. > > That stems from frustration.

Obviously a Debian project needs to use Debian packages. The question is whether you'd be able to distribute Debian packages from a Debian depository from within a Freedom-box internal delivery network, making it self-hosting. I realise that today is too early to talk about self-hosting. _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
