Does this allow non-DD's to host packages? Nobody at Kitware is a DD,
we just host an unofficial third-party repository, similar to PPA.

Hello all,
I have been preparing Ubuntu releases for CMake on our own APT
repository for several months now. We did this by preparing our own
repository infrastructure - we have a machine that builds packages, and
a machine that hosts an Aptly instance and pushes the repository to our
web server.

Hi all,
As per Debian policy, programs and libraries are generally not allowed
to embed their own copies of libraries that are present in another
package, in order to avoid duplication of code and to enable security
updates by updating shared libraries. In general, this is a good rule,
but I'm won

made modifications to that project that never went into upstream,

My name is Kyle. I work at Kitware, Inc., the upstream maintainer of
