The only question is if the repository should contain stable releases or nightly builds. What's your opinion? Or should we have upp and upp-nightly repositories?
Hello Honza,
You done a good job. Though i have a small problem with your ppa:
[...]
Hit http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic Release
Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic/main Packages
Hit http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic/main Packages
Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic/main Packages
Err http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic/main Packages
404 Not Found
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/dolik-rce/upp/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
With U++ i don't know what stable and nightly-builds means the difference is just the time when they get released because there isn't the repository frozen for a release or a tag created for it so technically until now we had only one stable release 2008.1 but since all upp releases (even nightly build) are considered stable we're having stable releases under different names upp and upp-nightly. Seems that nightly builds from GoogleCode have attention (based on downloads statistics), 1024 stable from sf.net has been released before 1875 from googlecode.com but 1875 got more downloads than stable version, so i might say based on that we definitely have to create a ppa for nightly or to drop nightly builds and release stable packages more often and advertise them a bit. The problem is that we should keep also sf.net and/or googlecode.com because launchpad only support deb packages or gzipped sources.
I think that we should have deb packages in launchpad and other packages in sourceforge and you may sync your launchpad releases with Koldo releases from sourceforge, in that way we support both deb and rpm.
To summarize everything:
launchpad.net: upp and upp-nightly (deb)
sourceforge.net: upp (rpm) googlecode.com (only svn mirror)
