[pkg-crosswire-devel] Access to Xiphos team & related project repositories

[Cyrille]

Hi caleb,
This is great!! I hope it will work. I tried to propose new releases of
Xiphos in my ppa. But for me it's always difficult (Because I don't have
the skill to do it). So your proposition is really wonderful. My ppa:
https://launchpad.net/~lafricain79/+archive/ubuntu/lafricainenvrac and
for focal: https://launchpad.net/~lafricain79/+archive/ubuntu/lafricaintest
Maybe we can also use Rosetta for the translation of Xiphos when you'll
be accepted in the team?
