Two comments, because I think there might be a duplication of efforts: Paths were moved around to make way to permanent solution for having repositories in the right place from 1.0 and onward. Codedrop was never meant to be permanent. The two directory patterns were incompatible and the first one didn't scale. A choice had to be made and that's the scalable version now seen on repo.meego.com. Why build your own OBS when work and servers are underway for exactly these types of things in the combined MeeGo and maemo.org community OBS? Besides that - if you want to make an alternative Hildon or LXDE UX on top of MeeGo Core or spin your own MeeGo deriative, go ahead!
