Addio a GetDeb e PlayDeb un crash sui server ne decreta la fine
After the server crash where also the GetDeb and PlayDeb database was
lost and given the fact that GetDeb and PlayDeb now have too many
packages to be handled as a one-man-project I decided to discontinue
GetDeb and PlayDeb.
In the last years I have spent so many hours in the project that now it is just too much for me to maintain beside my usual job.But this does not mean that all the work in GetDeb and PlayDeb is lost. The repository is still completely mirrored, e.g.: http://mirror.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/pub/mirrors/getdeb/ubuntu/pool/ (Google search: ‘quantal-getdeb-testing intitle:”Index of”‘ should give you a good list).
Also
all the package script (i.e. the debian directory) for every package in
the precise and quantal repository are available in my GitHub
repositories:
* https://github.com/ckorn/GetDeb
* https://github.com/ckorn/PlayDeb
* For special upstream watchers there is this repository: https://github.com/ckorn/Upstream-watchersThe
web interface of both GetDeb and PlayDeb is called apt-portal which is
specialised for viewing the information in an apt repository:
* https://code.launchpad.net/apt-portalAnd finally there are the scripts and little helpers of the automated build process:
* https://code.launchpad.net/debfactoryThe entire repository of Debian packages can be downloaded with this script:
* http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=JaVkvFFZIt
is currently 84GiB in size so please only download it if you really
want all the packages. If you just want some simply use a mirror.Let
me also thank everybody of you for the trust you had in GetDeb and
PlayDeb as an unofficial repository. I think GetDeb and PlayDeb were one
of the greatest unofficial repositories for Ubuntu packages.
I think to spend some time to bring some of the packages in the official repository.Thank you and bye!
Come potete leggere l’unica cosa positiva è che i pacchetti attuali sono comunque presenti nei mirror così come sono ancora presenti su Github gli script per generare i pacchetti per Precise e Quantal.
Speriamo che qualcuno possa subentrare nel progetto e magari in un interessamento da parte di Clem e del team di Linux Mint che come sapete li aggiungono (o meglio li aggiungevano) ai repository consigliati sulla loro distro.
