Hi, last year I made an attempt to package it. It looks like licensing is a non-issue as long as it is redistributable (which it is). The key point is that ftp-masters consider the whole culture of squeak VMs as non-free anyway. Maybe they are are not aware of the point that the VM image is the preferred form of modification. Take a look at the etoys package for the story.
I git cloned their SVN and started stripping, unnecessary binary stuff and evaluating whether it would work with Debian's squeak-vm. It looks like it does. Anyway, I got distracted repeatedly and never produced a respectable packaging. Once I have that I'll publish the git repo. However, this should not stop others from oding everything much quicker and better than I could ;-) Some open questions/tasks: * Does it really need pulseaudio? Or: how can it be made easily configurable to use any of the supported audio backends? * Ask for the sources of the binary plugins that are contained in SVN and shipped with scratch. * Camera plugin got removed -- is there a replacement? Is it necessary? Michael -- Michael Hanke http://mih.voxindeserto.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
