Re: [swarm-hackers] Swarm in debian/ubuntu

[Scott Christley]

Hey Nima,

That's great!  We can work together on this, I want to learn because there is some other software that I want to turn into packages.  I've talked with Jakson and he's happy to pass the debian package over to us as he's not really interested in maintaining it.  I've looked at what he's done so far, and it looks like a good start.

What I'm not completely sure of is how we actually get it into main Debian, I think we need a Debian developer to sponsor us.  Actually becoming a Debian maintainer appears to be a long involved process.

What do you think about my idea of having multiple packages corresponding to different Swarm variations?

cheers

Scott

Hey Scott,

I'm quite comfortable creating Debian/RPM packages, so I'll put my hand up for this. =)

Hello All,

I would like to make Swarm a standard debian/ubuntu package so those users can just use the apt-get package system to install Swarm.  Is somebody already doing this or has worked on this?  If not, I'm gonna apply to become a Debian maintainer for Swarm.

thanks
Scott
