@JdeBP@tty0.social @lukeshu@social.coop Rephrasing my earlier claim, I'm accustomed to seeing upstreams ship debian/ packaging automation alongside code, but not accustomed to seeing upstreams ship BSD packaging automation. As a packager, my experience of pkg_create is indirect. Very cool that you wrestled it into submission. Have you seen folks use your supplemental BSD package repositories?

(I intend in the fullness of time to package nosh, and to figure out what to do with djbwares -- possibly treat it as the new upstream for all its constituent packages. But @notqmail@social.notqmail.org is also in dire need of a fresh batch of my attention.)

    You may have seen my request for better pkg_create doco. (-:

    I don't track the logs, and the repositories were down for a long time as the machine hosting them vanished.

    That said, when I brought them back up just recently, aside from all of the search engine spiders immediately jumping on there was one machine that stood out dutifully checking the Debian repository every day. It seems to belong to some kind of housing collective in . They are in for a surprise. (-:
