Stems from the need of the Italian community of Wesnoth to an opening to the outside of their projects.
The projects are mainly two who in turn are developed in other branches, we see what they are and how you develop:
-repository
the main one is for Linux distributions based on Debian, the packages are created on Lenny and tested on ubuntu. The packages are not signed to avoid having to update the signature if they change the manteiner;
hopefully in the future to have someone capable of svilppare packages for other distros like Redhat and Arch.
-Repository SVN
SVN this will be the various projects in development of extensions, for the moment is still offline, but we think that within a few days has become operational.
The last thing we wanted you to know is that this project would never have created without the presence of two sites:

Italian forum of Wesnoth.
-TUXFAMILY
free hosting for projects opensources.
So if you were to please donate something, know that both sites will accept gladly
