There are three solutions: 1) Ask upstream to not depend on binary Python modules or to bundle binaries built on Ubuntu. 2) Wait for work on 0install to be complete and install via that method. 3) Package the activity for Ubuntu / Debian. 3# is the best solution in our opinion, 1# may be the quickest. 2# will take a while. -- ╒═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ │Luke Faraone ╭Debian / Ubuntu Developer╮│ │http://luke.faraone.cc ╰Sugar Labs, Systems Admin╯│ │PGP: 5189 2A7D 16D0 49BB 046B DC77 9732 5DD8 F9FD D506 │ ╘═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
