Automatic Packages for Everything (backports, new upstream versions, etc.)

Project description:

Many packaging tasks can be automated, and are likely to succeed without any human intervention:

However, doing those tasks still require Debian packaging knowledge.

As a step towards Debian's world domination, it would be great if we could automate those tasks and provide ready-to-use Debian packages, so that users are left with a deb-based alternative when there are no packages for their needs in Debian itself, instead of using upstream packages or building from source. So the goal of this project is to experiment with the idea of a service that would distribute unofficial Debian packages for the above scenarios.

Typically, that service would deal with:

The expected outcomes and deliverables are:
