Public bug reported: Squeak is a smalltalk implementation used by multimedia applications, educational platforms (such as OLPC) and web application developers. Due to licensing issues squeak is not available in Debian. Ubuntu initially used packaging from the Linex distro to put squeak in Multiverse during breezy/dapper. Since then the Debian packages available from squeak.org's repo have become available and are quite a bit better than what Ubuntu currently has available which would be very helpful for an LTS release. Also, OLPC has started shipping squeak-based Etoys on it's laptops and in order for Ubuntu to have a complete sugar/OLPC development platform squeak will be needed. There are also a number of bugs we'd like to close for Hardy (being an LTS release). I had geser take a look at the packages and he said they looked good (I cleaned up a couple copyright issues he found).
Where to find the sources: http://laserjock.us/files/edubuntu/squeak/ Summary of changes: * Current squeak packages: squeak-vm (producing squeak-vm and squeak), squeak-sources, and squeak-image * Proposed squeak packages: squeak (producing squeak-vm, squeak, and squeak-plugin), squeak-image3.9, squeak-plugin-image, squeak-sources3, squeak-sources3.9 The squeak-image package is now versioned because multiple images are coinstallable. Multiple squeak-sources packages are needed because squeak-image3.9 depends on squeak-sources3.9 but squeak-plugin depends on squeak-image3. I've added squeak-image and squeak-sources transitional packages and tested upgrades. As these are completely different packages I've not included diffs or diffstats.
