Little (nothing?) has changed with respect to my original assessment of Thrift. I have however resigned myself to packaging a carefully chosen subset of libraries that is the intersection of (a) those most important to me, (b) those reasonably maintained upstream, and (c) those I feel most comfortable supporting in a Debian stable if worst-case, I receive no help (from upstream or otherwise). Right now that means: * thrift-compiler * python-thrift * libthrift-java * libthrift-perl (probably) * libthrift-ruby (probably) Popular libraries that I feel pretty strongly against packaging, (at least not without a solid commitment from a co-maintainer): * php * c# * c++ I've also moved this work to collab-maint: http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/thrift.git;a=summary -- Eric Evans eev...@debian.org
