Well, in fact, there is ONE solution simple and direct which is to create a FTP/HTTP area where all upstream tarball can be stored. This is a good first step for beginning. It will serve all current distributions (Debian/GODI) by providing an alternate download site. It could also be the first step to make something more complex. Concerning doing something better, i am not sure we can reach a consensus for now. However, just storing tarball somewhere is not a Package Management System. Regards, Sylvain Le Gall
