[SciPy-dev] Launchpad hosting: an option for scipy?

[Andrew Straw]

Thanks for the tip.

 From my reading of the press release, one will still have to know just 
as much about making .debs, it's just that they'll be automatically 
built on the target architectures and hosted on launchpad.net. (Which is 
nevertheless very cool.)

Anyhow, I've applied to participate in the beta system and will 
hopefully soon be hosting my .debs on their server.
