debian package for guile-debugging-0.12

debian package for guile-debugging-0.12

[John Steele Scott]

Hi,

I have made a deb package of Neil Jerram's very useful
guile-debugging-0.12.

The package is available from:

<http://www.toojays.net/portal/Members/toojays/guile-debugging/guile-debugging_0.12-1_all.deb>

Deb source is available in the same directory:

<http://www.toojays.net/portal/Members/toojays/guile-debugging/>

Only tested on Ubuntu Dapper, but should work on any Debian-based system.

cheers,

John

Many thanks, John.  It's little (or not so little) things like this
that remind one what a wonderful thing free software is.

Regards,
     Neil

Would be greater if it's committed to debian repo. :-)

Do you know the procedure for doing that?

A Debian Developer (DD) must either maintain or sponsor the package. In
the sponsorship case, the DD does not maintain the package, but he
ultimately "signs off" on it.

I had the impression that this code was going to eventually make its way
into guile-1.8. Is that still the plan?

cheers,

John

Apply to be a DD(debian developer) first, here's a reference page,

A programming language is low level when its programs require attention
to the irrelevant.

Thanks, I've started looking into this.  My impression is that I have
a lot to learn, so this will take some time.

Probably not 1.8, no.  I'm now planning for it to be in 1.10 (or
whatever the next release is called).  On the other hand, what do
these numbers really mean?  I guess it depends what other new features
people have in mind for "1.10".

What is definitely true is that I'm working right now on integrating
guile-debugging into the core guile CVS.  (And in fact this work is
almost complete.)

Regards,
     Neil

Thanks, I've started looking into this.  In the meantime, if any
existing DD would like to sponsor the guile-debugging package, please
speak up.

Regards,
     Neil

John,

Would you mind if I merged your debian directory into my package/CVS?
Then I can trivially prepare a .deb for all future releases.

Regards,
     Neil
