Hi,

	Monty and I have been discussing Infra building and hosting
distribution packages that we may require -- things like third-party
libraries where the distros might lag behind pypi, or where the library
is not provided by the distro. Which means I'm writing a specification
for it, and at the moment, there are far too many unanswered questions
to push up a spec.

	I thought I would bring them up here and see if we can reach
rough consensus, or if we want to defer until Vancouver.


* Decide where to host said git repositories (or indeed, if we even
want to), and who should have permissions to approve changes.

* Decide if we host full upstream sources, or if we point at a remote
site with tarballs to extract.

* Decide how we are going to trigger builds of packages. Per commit may
not be the most useful step, since committers may want to pull multiple
disparate changes together into one changelog entry, and hence one
build.

* Decide where to host the resultant package repositories.

* Decide how to deal with removal of packages from the package
repositories.

Thanks,
