I don't think super old machines matter. For now, i'd say that anything we
support for drizzle itself should be enough. Given a choice, i'd say pick
sanity to old support. For instance, I think supporting python pre-2.4 or gcc
pre-4.1 is a total waste of time.
Libdrizzle itself doesn't yet work on windows, but it's close- so I wouldn't do
anything to make it any worse than the libdrizzle depend.
If you want to provide spec files for the rpm people, that's fine. Debian best
pactice is separate packaging... don't worry about debian/ubuntu packaging...
I'll take care of packaging and uploading it as soon as you have a release-
unless someone on your team is interested in learning all of the dpkg foo.
