Good!, thanks for the news and for maintaining the service. Out of curiosity, and given http://debdelta.debian.net has been around for a long while now and is used (according to my exchanges with you) regularly, do you have a plan for integration into debian.*org* proper? In principle, it looks like a very useful service to users than they should be able to enable triggering a switch into APT. Is there any document describing that possibility, its drawbacks, showstoppers and, more generally, the way forward? Is the ongoing GSOC project [1] the only remaining block or… ? (Yes, I'm also aware of [2], but it seems independent form actually making easier for users to find and use the service.) Cheers.
