In the past few weeks I’ve been preparing the Debian packages of FileTea and its companion EventDance. They’re finally available.
FileTea is a free, web-based file sharing system that just works. It only requires a browser, and no user registration is needed. If you want to know more about it, you can read my previous blog post. For a more detailed description, read Nathan Willis’s excellent article on LWN.net. There have been a few changes since that article (HTTPS support in particular) but it’s still the best one you can find on the net.
Igalia still provides a FileTea server at http://filetea.me/, that you can use to share your files and see how it works. We plan to keep offering this service, but you don’t need to trust it/depend on it anymore: now you can apt-get install filetea and have your own.
Great, I was looking forward to that.
Are you going to set up a bug tracker for filetea, or do you prefer feature requests by mail?
Wohooo!!!
Joachim, we still don’t have a bug tracker setup. We will apply for hosting filetea within GNOME infrastructure, but until that happens you can e-mail me any bug report or feature request to elima at igalia.com. I know this is not a comfortable way of doing it but it is supposed to be temporary.
Also, if you use Debian you can file a bug against it at http://www.debian.org/Bugs/.
cheers
You might want to get yourself added to Planet Debian, please ask your sponsor about it and give them this link:

I’ll do that, Paul. Thanks.
