No, I don't think so either. But conforming to the current draft policy already would be nice. When renamed and stuff, I can try to build them here (I don't believe there were powerpc packages :)) and have a look if they can be uploaded. Are they ruby-version dependent anyway? Are they up-to-date with current Fox upstream releases? > FreeRIDE was a bit difficult to package since the upstream release > included the libs it depended on (including platform-dependent .so > libraries!), and it was meant to be unpacked & run in the same dir, so > I had to patch it to allow per-user properties, etc. I'm not following > FreeRIDE's development anymore, but so far I've had some positive feedback > concerning the packages and the only reported problems were PLBKAC > (ppl who didn't know how to use apt-get, etc), so they seem to work. Ah, yeah, that's a whole different approach, system-wide comparing to extract-and-run :).
