Revisiting shiny-server, I have turned on the build time tests to have a better understanding of what is left to be done. Tests now fail due to missing rewire: debian/rules override_dh_auto_test make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' mocha test Error: Cannot find module 'rewire' Maybe tests using rewire could be ignored for now. Yet I would very much want to run the tests, as this would be a great way to find out whether shiny-server works as packaged for Debian. > There have been many interested parties in packaging shiny-server in > Debian over the past few years.

However, as I have never used shiny-server before, I do not think there is much I can do apart from checking the tests. Best, Andrius
