Topic: Development Storage Place Thing Like in Ubuntu

I have no idea what the hell it is called...but essentially, I think it would be cool if:

There was a place on the interwebs where #! users could upload their submissions for everything from code to wallpapers to new programs. This magical place could also be browsed by #! users and if they like things they can download it.

Kina like gnome-look.org combined a #! distribution repository and maybe combined ubuntu wiki and then all shaken and mixed together

Maybe the place could even be divided by version (8.10.2 / 9.04.01 / 9.10.01 / etc) so people could also work on developing things for future distributions, kinda like how the ubuntu wiki does.

Lemme know what ya'll think!

You could create your own Launchpad account and page and upload your stuff there.

Also you could create your own deb package (with artwork) and then contact Philip about including it in the main Crunchbang repos.

BTW if you wish to contact me, send me an e-mail instead of a PM.

Re: Development Storage Place Thing Like in Ubuntu

Hey Stopie,

Are you talking about a repository with version control?

I have been wanting to play with Git for a while, but just needed to have a reason to do it.  Its pretty funky and has the advantage of each person having essentially their own repository which is then pushed up an merged.  Not sure how this would work for wallpapers, but everyone I heard that has used git has raved about it.

I'm fairly busy over until the weekend, but will have a closer look at it then and let you all know.

Don't remember how to do it; just that it can be done! Google will know how.

Re: Development Storage Place Thing Like in Ubuntu

Im looking for a hybrid between https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Jaunty and gnome-look.org where users can upload everything from code to artwork - A central place for everything #! to allow for easier access to everything instead of having to cruise the forums for "x" ammount of time or search google for hours.

Re: Development Storage Place Thing Like in Ubuntu

Artwork and Code are two very different things and should be dealt with in two very seperate ways.  Artwork, for example doesn't require version control, whilst code, obviously does.

Whilst I totally agree that there should be a central repo, the methods of storage for static content (such as sounds and artwork) compared to dynamic contend such as constantly evolving code should be kept separate.

You OP has however given me a funky Idea about code repos which I am going to look into over the next couple of days, I'll post onto the forums when I have a more definite plan, but it involves a central repo of scripts and config files.
