[E-devel] Ubuntu packages
Hey chums! As some of you might be aware, theres been a bit of back and forwards on Ubuntu launchpad bug on getting python-efl ( EFL) into the official ubuntu forums. I know its hardly any of our responsibility but I know some of the package folks from Debian would be interested in this. It also provides distribution of EFL in the biggest linux distro ever (Which would be quite nice). Lets leave out the fact that its still unreleased software, and see it as an opportunity to generate some usage, bugs, and more importantly, developers. Anyway, heres the Packaging Guidlines for ubuntu. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages It says... Debian Import Freeze for lucid is on February 11, 2010. which gives us a month to see if we can get the debain experimental packages into Ubuntu. REVU is the best method of getting packages reviewed for inclusion in the next release. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/REVU Id be happy to put in some effort to getting it in. Anyone else have experience in getting packages into Debian/Ubuntu?

Anyone else have experience in getting packages into Debian/Ubuntu? Well, couple of notes: 1 - Karmic already ships with some EFL (eina-elementary), since they use netbook-launcher-efl in ARM (my company, ProFUSION wrote it in contract for Canonical) 2 - Due some compan(y|ies) that are putting money into their mouths, the base EFL should be released as 1.0 in very few months, if not January itself to start the alphas and betas. I'd like to give my kudos to all these companies that are investing resources (developers, money, etc) into EFL ecosystem. 3 - Following EFL 1.0, E17 should be released soon as well. It still need work, but this will happen. 4 - Python bindings are being worked on regularly and used by different products at this point. So consider it maintained and ready to be released. Last but not least, although Ubuntu and Debian are good, we should not forget Fedora and Suse at least. -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -- MSN: barbi...@gmail.com Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 -- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev ___ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel

Well, couple of notes: 1 - Karmic already ships with some EFL (eina-elementary), since they use netbook-launcher-efl in ARM (my company, ProFUSION wrote it in contract for Canonical) Why is it that this example, and others like it (using/built-with the efl), doesn't appear anywhere on the e site? 2 - Due some compan(y|ies) that are putting money into their mouths, the base EFL should be released as 1.0 in very few months, if not January itself to start the alphas and betas. I'd like to give my kudos to all these companies that are investing resources (developers, money, etc) into EFL ecosystem. Which companies and what developers are those exactly? What are the efl contributions, resources, products... which have been (or will be) made? 3 - Following EFL 1.0, E17 should be released soon as well.

They're no longer in Debian experimental, but in unstable. If you want the packages to be in Ubuntu, the best way to achieve that is to ask for a sync report, so that the packages from Debian are imported into Ubuntu. AFAIK there should be no ubuntu-specific changes, so there's no reason not to sync directly. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess Id be happy to put in some effort to getting it in. Anyone else have experience in getting packages into Debian/Ubuntu? Sure.
