Hi Kay, Not sure if may be there were replies in private... nuitka looks like an interesting project -- thanks! and thanks for using Debian ;-)
Since everyone seems to be busy and since you are an experienced Debian user -- would you consider trying to package it yourself? it is really not a rocket science and since you are on a Debian system start right away with reportbug wnpp and file an ITP (or at least RFP if not planing to work on packaging) for it. Then start off with dh_make and snaking at tutorials (apt-get install packaging-tutorial) and other packages. Whenever packages becomes ready (lintian-free, builds in clean environment with pbuilder or cowbuilder) -- you could seek for sponsorship here and that would be easier to get than complete packaging (usually DDs package what they use themselves first ;) ) 1 tiny comment: Nuitka.py script better looses its suffix (.py) if you are planing to have it installed under /usr/bin (and I would even suggest to make it all lower-cased -- nuitka -- although not strictly enforced but advised: imagine if all the tools g++, Python, cython, LDD, Make had inconsistent casing) Cheers On Mon, 10 Oct 2011, Kay Hayen wrote: > Hello, > I am the upstream developer of Nuitka and am seeking somebody to > package Nuitka for Debian. > It's a Python compiler with near complete and unprecedented compatibility: > http://www.nuitka.net/blog/nuitka-a-python-compiler/what-is-nuitka/ > I have recently adopted a "git flow" model, where I now support a > stable release, plus generally the project is nearing the point of > being useful. > Check it out from here: > git clone http://git.nuitka.net/Nuitka.git > The develop branch is further ahead with documentation, otherwise it > is supposed to be useful. > I am willing to make changes as you indicate necessary.
