deb.li - the Debian ShortURL Service - beta test



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi there,

after several other Debian developers convinced me that a ShortURL service,
which is under control of a Debian Developer (and if its useful and used
regularly running on DSA-administrated Hardware) would be useful for them, I've
spent some time to write the necessary code for it.

So I'm happy to announce the public beta test of http://deb.li (also available
under http://go.debian.net)! Please note that neither the content of the pages
nor the CSS is finished... :)

As this should not become just another random, spammer-attracting ShortURL
service, I will not provide a web based form to add new URLs. Instead new URLs
have to be added via a simple JSON-RPC based interface. Other ways to add new
URLs will be added on request (or by sending patches ;)), at least an
email-gateway similar to db.debian.org is planned.

The small piece of documentation which exists so far is available at
http://wiki.debian.org/deb.li
And if you want to give it a try now, log into alioth.debian.org and have a look
into /var/lib/gforge/chroot/home/users/bzed/godebian-client - the usage is
documented in the README file and should be pretty straight forward.

Comments, bugreports and patches are welcome!

Hope its useful!

Bernd
