I guess I'm 65-70% of the way there. There are a couple more binary packages I'd like to add (php and erlang), and there are varying degrees of work still needed for the packages that are there (quite a bit more for libthrift-cil for example). I'd love to see these efforts merged. That being said, my interest lies in having Thrift added to Debian, which requires quite a bit more than simply putting things into a format that dpkg understands. I gather from the discussions here that most people are happy with the patches attached to THRIFT-71, I'm not sure Esteve and Todd will be up for the extra pedantry. :) -- Eric Evans [email protected]
