We don't need to merge it for 0.1, as you said, we could simply generate packages for Thrift after we roll 0.1 > I'm not sure if the differences between Esteve and Todd's work have > been resolved, but there's also Eric Evans's recent work: > http://git.debian.org/?p=users/eevans/thrift.git;a=summary > > Esteve, Todd, and Eric: can you comment on the state of your packaging > and whether the differences between your packages can be merged or > otherwise resolved? Which is the best packaging? Mine, of course! :-) Not really, but it's already being used by some people and it's been "in the wild" for a while. I feel a bit uneasy having two separate efforts, especially given that upstream (i.e. us) has been working on it for a while (THRIFT-71 was filed in July the 9th), THRIFT-71 already has support for C++, Java, Ruby, Perl, Python, C# and Erlang, and works with Ubuntu Hardy and Debian Lenny. That being said, I'd love to see a merge between Eric's and our work, and having a seal of approval by a Debian developer would be great :-) Cheers.
