Here I'm collecting ideas and plans for the backport repository for sarge, which will start as soon as sarge is stable.

  • restructure repository, move from symlinks to pool structure
  • use 'bpo' instead 'backports.org' as extension in versionnumber
  • try to use only packages from testing, to ensure that backports are stable
  • don't backport security related packages, e.g. bind or openssh
  • concentrate on packages important for workstations, not for server
  • sign packages with a valid gnupg key
