Are you a member in the pkg-ruby-extras group on Alioth? If so, you can create a repository in the team repository. It must by no means be done, finish, polished, or good to live there. See at as work in progress. The packaging is a very good start! I had a look and have the following suggestions: + Again, please put it in the team repository. See the wiki page for docs. [0] + The package does not build clean in pbuilder, see below. * You should add gem2deb as a build dependency, this adds e.g. ruby and other things necessary to build instead of listing them explicitly. (Since ruby isn't listed as a build-dep rake can't execute.) * I don't think there is any reason to create a Python 2 package anymore since Debian is deprecating Python 2 and migrating everything to Python 3. (Maybe you can drop totally in favour of the above mentioned gem2deb, build-dep?) * The directory for the watchman(1) man page isn't created. Use dh_installman(1) (e.g. list man pages in debian/package.manpages) or use dh_installman in debian/rules directly. + The package is not lintian clean. * The ruby-watchman package is empty, did you forget to install it in dh_auto_install target? * Descriptions should not end with periods.
