Forgive my ignorance, but does every new version of a given package have to be republished in it's universe? It sounded like that on the web page. And if I have a universe already is there something like "apt-get update" for it?
Yes. In fact, that is at the core of the system. If you do not publish Foo version X into a universe, then people using that praticular universe will not even know Foo version X exists.
Thus, package universes do take work to maintain. However, that work pays off, in that you end up with a set of packages that have been hand selected.
In any event, it would be nice for seaside, pier and a few others to be on there so those packages could get rid of their own scripts (to make maintenance easier).
Hmmm, well, I might have to look closely at them if the install is non-trivial. Each of those authors, you know, is welcome to do it themselves, too. ;)
