Well, I missed the idea of using github altogether.

Talking about github, would it be possible to add an option to upload any random file to Openrepos? At the current moment, I do not see the possibility to upload anything other than the installation package and screenshots.

I am thinking about for example a zipped source. I do not have a github account and would prefer not to have to create one if there is even a tiny chance to avoid it but it would be nice to share the source somehow.

You can clone a repo from github without having an account:

Code:
git clone git://github.com/user/repo-name.git
or were you trying to think of a way to share code you have with other people? Running git on a server is much easier than I thought it would be.

Well, having sources in the apt repository has one definite advantage - one can simply apt-get source the very version!

Yes, my own code. I have currently only a handful of patches in Openrepos, so not a big problem since the installation package basically is the source (bar the spec file) but this may or may not change.

Custodian, is it possible ORN to provide the source package hosting too? For Fremantle we had extras, the sources were automatically there when building for source. And when using ORN, getting the sources is not that baby-easy.

And, since we're such an open source community - it should be. Basically it should be enough to make an `apt-get source` call (or it's zypper/pkcon counterpart on Sailfish)

/edit: just noticed my message two messages ago ;P leaving this anyway as a kind of bump

Well, this can be done: I can add extra field for the applications (for attaching .src.rpm and .desc/.tar.gz.

But I cannot force publishers to provide such sources. Most of them, who cares about sources already provide links to github/other scm with sources and/or tarballs.

That would be great.

Of course. A closed-source application is still better than no application. And even for Fremantle there was the non-free repository.
