Hi Sivan, as Carlos already answered you, I am the maintainer for the PySide packages in Debian. The boost based pyside fails to build on some Debian arches [0] (today unaccessible due to power outage [1]). As Carlos also said, I decided to stop the packaging of the boost-based version because upstream is not willing to keep it alive for Squeeze's duration. Its migration is blocked by http://bugs.debian.org/569017 . (Which explains why it isn't in Ubuntu). So, these days, I am working on the "next generation" PySide (shiboken based), from git snapshots, in order to be ready to release to Debian unstable as soon as possible when pyside-shiboken will be released. My actual packages (work in progress, no guarantee at all) are released daily after their build on: deb http://alioth.debian.org/~odyx-guest/debian unstable/ deb-src http://alioth.debian.org/~odyx-guest/debian unstable/ For now, I am mostly keeping track and I don't need particular help. When pyside-shiboken will be released, I think that I'd be able to have releasable packages in one or two weeks (depending on the time in year) + finding a sponsor + NEW delay. Those packages could be directly imported into Ubuntu. In any case, I want to avoid any diff between Debian and Ubuntu. About the packaging, it is actually kept in a private git repository, but it will be released to python-modules packaging team svn when we'll have tarballs: http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/python-modules/packages/pyside/trunk/ In any case, I'll keep this list posted.
