I have created a debian package for clojure. I've basically packaged up the JAR with the bin script from http://github.com/jochu/clojure-extra/tree/master. It's still a work-in-progress, but if there are any debian users out there, I'd like feedback. To install the debian package you need to first add the following line to your apt sources:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pjstadig/ubuntu hardy main Then just do an apt update and "sudo apt-get install clojure" and it should work for you (*fingers crossed*). You can find my GPG key out in the ether ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) to verify the installation, whether you *trust* me is another issue ("Who is this guy?!"). ;) This deb was actually built on Ubuntu. I think it'll work on any debian based distribution, but I'm a newb at this, so please send me your feedback. This project raises (at least) two issues: 1. How can we get this into the standard debian distribution? It is my understanding that someone has to be (or become) an official debian developer to get it into the distribution. I'm willing to pursue that unless someone else is already there. 2. How should this be maintained/expanded? I am willing to contribute the debian build files back to clojure (it just adds a debian directory with some files in it). However, some of the things that are part of the debian build should probably be integrated into the main project and build file (man pages, bin scripts, etc.), because there may be other distributions that could reuse some of those files. Additionally, this could all be expanded to include bin scripts and such for Windows, too. If we're not going to merge this back into the main source (or if we don't want to do it yet), I could setup a GitHub project to maintain the debian build system separately. Any thoughts on all this?
