Thanks for the feedback. You may be interested to know that Tollef Fog Heen filed an ITP [1] for rekall yesterday (well, Thursday). Rekall looks really cool, and I can't wait to try it out!

I think that it is unacceptable to require modifying anything in /usr tj build a package. Package build scripts should be fixed instead.

> I can't get it to compile yet (some serious python errors get > generated late in the make process) I found this to be because it does not support compiling with python 2.3. Fortunately in debian you can have multiple python versions installed so it wasn't really a problem, in my case I found I just needed to point the /usr/ python symlink at /usr/python2.2 (of course, you need python 2.2 installed) instead of 2.3 during the compile of rekall. After it's compiled you can change the symlink back, it only affects rekall at compile time, not at runtime. -- Stephen M. Gava <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Getting rekall into Debian
Howdi, Hot on the heels of konversation (which I've started using since I found the package - thanks Nate!) .. I saw the announcement about thekompany releasing rekall under the gpl - does this mean we'll be getting that into Debian soon too? I can't get it to compile yet (some serious python errors get generated late in the make process) so don't even know if it's as good as it sounds anyway. Anyone played with it, or has an intention to package it? Cheers, Jedd.
