My only issue with launchpad is that ubuntu doesn't have bacon(Basic Converter) which is what the new gui is written in so the package build fails. The only way to have launchpad do it is to have a source package that is entirely buildable by the default ubuntu install.
I'll have to find a way around this or change the new gui.

Hi,
My vote is to continue with the signed repo which is equally well known and used by Debian and Ubuntu, Launchpad PPA's are almost exclusively Ubuntu-based and many of the Debian upper admins don't particularly like PPA's very much due to the security risks of unsigned packages (of course that could change in the future). As far as I know Debian doesn't yet support 'apt-add-repository' commands (at least Debian Stable doesn't).
Just my 2 cents...

I think the best channel is always a dedicated repository to put it in your sources.list.
Even better would be a single package, without dependencies.
Congratulations again to Remastersys.
And 'one of the best software that I know of. He has always done his duty, and I use it for both Debian and Ubuntu.
Now with the new GUI is more customizable ...
Thanks!

I am voting for repo as well, but it would be nice to also have deb or tarball somewhere to download. Thanks for the great work.

I also voted for a signed repository. I believe it's the most efficient method. YMMV

One of those problems of modern computing is that programs contain so many files, that no-one understands things. So I'm with you GMaq. I cóuld do things in Xubuntu and Mint with the signed repo.

In any case it is important to obtain Remastersys. Equally important is how to get Remastersys.

I chose the repo option but I actually feel a package should be made available multiple ways, when possible. Repo & sourceforge sounds good to me.

Hi Tony,
eversince you allowed me to test your first test version of remastersys I am regularly using it on debian and ubuntu without a fail and have made hundereds of remasters till now . It only failed when I messed up with it`s basic needs/rules
I would vote for a repo with main packages and depenedencies available on that repo so we don`t depened on required packages missing from debian or ubuntu repos.
Keep the good work continued , best of luck !

I also vote for Official Remastersys Signed Repository, because it sounds most official and convenient to me. Thank you.  |

I voted "Direct Download link - web link directly from the remastersys website", its simple this way.
If thats not possible then an Official Remastersys Signed Repository - like the current ubuntu version is distributed would be good.

I'm leaning towards the signed repo and direct download since most that have answered so far seem to want that as well.

Tony - I'm pleased to see you are active in this important topic.
First, what is your most significant target for distribution? My thought is that we "techies" tend see the world as similar to ourselves. That may not be so good. I suggest that your published description should foster self-identification by the best-served targets and then make distribution by whatever means is the most natural for the target person. Of course the distribution must result in good use of remastersys as seen by the target.
This is difficult. A wrapper surrounding correct code for a correct solution to a correctly identified opportunity.
The second-most significant target IMHO is the current one: techies who either want to (or must, to handle their needs) diddle with the code or simply like to feel involved. You can either use more than one distribution method, or maintain a write-up on how they can find and work on the code segments, or both.
Peter
