I am one of the guys pushing for a central repository, but I can't see
anything wrong with PPA's either, as long as the following is part of
the "code of honor" of people maintaining such PPAs:
- A PPA is not used to distribute the 'final' version of a package to
all users of a Maemo device. E.g., the main download portal of
maemo.org should not advertise packages in PPAs.
- All PPAs are known to the maemo.org community, and their maintainers
allow NMUs to them, subject to the same rules as NMUs in
extras-devel.
- Any combination of PPAs must yield a consistent distribution. More
concretely:
- Packages in one PPA should not depend on packages in
another PPA
- and they should explicitly declare all conflicts they
have with packages in all other PPAs.
PPAs _can_ contain overlapping packages (e.g., one PPA has a higher
version of a package than another PPA, or in extras-devel), but not
by accident.
