I think the main reasons for that are (a) that it’s unmaintained (you can’t just get your package added), (b) that it’s underdocumented (it doesn’t say how to add a package or create a repo in less than 5 steps), and (c) that there is no web interface for uploading a package. >> In practice it does not provide a web interface for uploading packages. >> >> If you want to do something truly exciting, you could take wingos fibers >> and build a high performance web interface for guildhall with them. > > High performance is not really important in this case.
