Maybe he wants this to be able to provide users with a central place for newer/updated versions of the packages, like we do with for example KDE, GNOME and many other things?
Still, if the packages are maintained they should end in Factory.
Just wondering...
the science repo has its place and shall exist. scientific apps rarely follow any software engineering route.. if one looks into the .spec files of some of them would probably want to commit suicide immediately... Joke aside now.
It is no joke, sadly. Academics are not terribly interested in coding, but more in that their algorithms give some result. No blame there, but it leads to a level of quality that is not satisfactory for distribution of their code - especially should it become a hit record. Because there are few "proven" libraries (e.g. gnutls is a proven library for SSL), crosslinking to previously unseen projects is not all that rare. Everybody who is willing to use autotools as the primary Makefile generator gets the autotools and cross-distro packaging part done for her/him.
