Tipical minos packages are created through launchpad recipes who fetch and mix 2 git/bzr/svn repositories:
project
project-deb
Only a handful of these repositories are maintained actively at minos, the rest are generated automatically from 3rd party sources. There are 3 types of autogenerated repositories:
- upstream project who either don't use git or have a debian/ directory in their master branch.
- due to limitations in how bzr dailydeb works it's quite problematic to mix repositories who contain a debian/ directory, these recipes mirror upstream projects minus debian/
- backport dependency packages. To keep up with minos changes equally from all LTS releases.
- minos deviation, little changes who are injected automatically to take advantage of upstream (Ubuntu) security updates.
The recipes are run by minos-sync-bot and uploaded once every day.
