Seems sane - anything that increases the number of users testing out
alpha versions is good for me.

Sure, the utopia repo gets quite brutal (it's only small now as F8 has
just been released) with lots of git and svn versions of alpha level
software; it's not a nice place to play if you just want to see if a
newer version of PackageKit has fixed a bug.

I propose on putting the daily PackageKit and gnome-packagekit rpm's on
http://packagekit.org/pre-release/rpm - if that's okay with Ken and
Elliot. I can edit my daily build script to scp the rpms there and run
create-repo on the output. The packagekit-prerelease.rpm is also a good
idea, and I'm sure I can figure out how to do it taking apart a
fedora-release srpm.

Ken, Elliot, could you create a pre-release/rpm somewhere on the server
pls, and also give me write access on it please? I also see no problem
with other people with commit uploading .deb or .emerge files there.

Thanks,

Richard.
