Sorry, I really haven't been following this conversation, but I just
want to point out that a *lot* more systems use apt-based package
management than pkgsrc.  I had never even heard of pkgsrc until it was
mentioned in this thread.  pkgsrc is surely quite obscure, and wouldn't
really facilitate larger adoption, if that's what the conversation is
about.

I don't see that offering things up in an apt archive excludes people
from setting up other systems to distribute the package formats of their
choice.  I for one appreciate the apt archives, since we use debian.

jamie.
