Together with a bunch of people during debcamp, we decided to package homeassistant. This is a huge task, with hundreds of dependencies. Since there's too many, we've been told to no Cc: debian-devel@l.d.o when filing the ITPs, and instead write a summary (as per developper's ref).
Not going to stop you - I actually think it would be a nice thing to have something like this packaged for real - but how realistic is this in a Debian stable release (assuming you ever manage to get all of it packaged and uploaded). Using HA myself, that thing and all around it is changing faster than anything else I ever saw. One basically finished updating ones install and it goes again "Update available". Combined with upstreams focus on their HassOS thing (and yes, that *is* damn easy and low-effort to use!), is upstream support for "oh gosh you outdated distro" even there, in case this ends up in a stable release? I sure would like if it ever goes with an "apt install homeassistant" and you have what "put this HASSOS image into a VM/raspy and automate away" does now, thats a cool target. But you found yourself a hill even larger than the OpenStack one - and one that changes even more often and faster. :) -- bye, Joerg
