You're welcome, I think it might get used a bit more with an up to date version. Hopefully we can get some of your patches applied. > Wow, premake4 itself embeds a copy of lua. This is probably more for the benefit of Windows and Mac, The current Premake Debian package links against the installed version of Lua rather than building the embedded version. > I would also suggest to upload premake 4 as source premake4 and binary > premake4, probably before wheezy is released.

Should I open a new ITP bug for Premake4 or rename the current Premake ITA bug? Should I make any changes to the existing Premake, there are a few bugs logged against it although most should be addressed by creating a Premake4 source. Also should I base a Premake4 source off of the Premake source package (e.g. keep the Debian changelog etc.) or start afresh. Feels like I'm getting close to actually making the package now :) > nyquist and ode embed premake4.exe (WTF?) and have a premake4.lua It looks like a few packages are using premake for generating their Windows build configurations but not necessarily other platforms. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
