Hi Edd, thank for taking part in this discussion! Debian side, I presume the peculiar thing we need to do is to standardize how to use upstream DOAP files. The few questions that comes to my mind right now are: - would it be enough to have them in a Debian source package or do we want to have them also in some Debian binary package (so that they will end up being installed on the filesystem)? - in the latter case, let's standardize a directory where to put them; which one? - similar question for the former case: debian/doap.xml would do? In answering the above questions we need to think at the use cases, right now I only have in mind the PTS and packages.d.o. For both cases probably the source package would be enough, since packages.d.o AFAIK is already unpacking source packages to extract stuff, for example the changelogs. I'm not sure however that preventing a priori filesystem installation will not hinder future uses ... Edd, your hints on how to answers the above questions are totally appreciated!
