I've used the debian files above to successfully build and run chandler on Ubuntu Lucid, the only changes required were to the Makefiles to add Lucid to the list of names being checked (grep -r karmic * and add lucid after each instance of karmic). My mail of the beginning of June has more details and a patch for this. If a new release could be tagged in svn with these changes I'll happily build and upload the deb file somewhere... I have since been attempting to get chandler to build using the pbuilder tool, which should hopefully allow it to also build using an Ubuntu PPA. This is a bit more involved as the Ubuntu/debian build hosts don't have any external internet access, so everything needs to either be inside the original tar.gz or come from an external package. After much tweaking I think I'm fairly close, although still without being able to complete the whole build! So far I have: Bundled the external dependency tarballs into the chandler.orig.tar.gz by modifying the debian/rules file Packaged pylucene and stopped it being built as part of chandler (Makefile tweaks required and the application of a patch previously posted to the list by Jacob Floyd to allow chandler to be built against a newer pylucene) Packaged zanshin and made it a dependency As far as I can tell the only thing that is stopping the package from building now is that it is trying to download setuptools and easy_install its python dependencies - I'm not sure why this should be as the internal makefile seems to only try to install packages if they are present, and they should all be satisfied by the build-depends - if anyone can help me out here I would be grateful!
