Hi, folks. I know there isn't even a proper release yet, but I couldn't help myself so I started to put together some notmuch Debian packaging [0]. It's built around using git-buildpackage, and I've posted what I have to the "debian" branch in my notmuch git repo:
git://lair.fifthhorseman.net/~jrollins/notmuch To build the package you need a branch named "upstream" which tracks upstream, and a version tag of this branch (currently I'm assuming the version number is "0.0"). Once you have those, you can run the following command in the debian branch: git buildpackage -us -uc --git-ignore-new The resulting package also currently installs the notmuch emacsen. It might be worth considering if the emacsen should be broken out into a separate package (ie. maybe all the notmuch interfaces should separate packages?). The emacsen installation is new to me, so it's possible I didn't get it right. You currently have to do a load-library notmuch when you start emacs. As much as I would love to, at this point I'm not quite offering to actually be maintainer of a notmuch Debian package. I don't quite have the bandwidth at the moment to deal with what is surely to be a very popular package (eg. bug reports). I wouldn't mind being on a maintainer team, though. I'm certainly happy to maintain all the packaging for the mean time, though. If nothing else, I'm posting what I have in case someone else wants to run with it. Please let me know if there are any questions, comments, patches, etc. jamie.
