Hi Axel,
CC: Alain, Thibaut, Gilles
(with whom we recently discussed packaging issues)
Thanks for quick reply.

Currently Debian offers a package with a standalone version of GDL -

It is also possible to build GDL as a Python module.
Is that built from the same source tar ball or do we need to download
a separate source tar ball for that?
Yes - the same source. The only thing that has to be changed is the
CMake's -DPYTHON_MODULE=ON flag. No "make install" rules are available
for the Python module, though.
P.S.: Any progress with http://sf.net/p/gnudatalanguage/bugs/594/ ?
Without that being fixed, it IMHO doesn't make much sense to put
effort into new packaging features.
Why? This issue concerns only powerpc and kfreebsd - apparently, we have
no userbase there... (I'm also not 100% sure if the problem is inside
GDL - it's a linking issue that appears on two out of >10 arch only, the
error messages point to code that was present in the previous version).
Do you know anyone using Debian with kfreebsd or powerpc that we could
ask to look into it?
Of course, I do see the point of trying out the source on different
machines (and fixing this issue), but I would argue that such problems
should not stop the vast majority of users from getting new features or
updates.
Mostly due to Ubuntu, keeping the Debian package updated and
feature-rich is very important for us!
Thanks,
Sylwester
