There certainly are packages for Debian, see

    http://packages.debian.org/neko
    http://packages.debian.org/haxe

and for backports-in-preparation (which should also make it easier for
Ubuntu users)

OK, thanks.  However, I do not think I have the time myself right now
to find a good solution for how to include the full Tora in the Debian
package (I am not using Tora myself).

But maybe others have ideas?  The Mercurial repositories for the
packages are here:

    http://hg.debian.org/hg/collab-maint/neko/neko
    http://hg.debian.org/hg/collab-maint/haxe/haxe

Especially the debian/patches directories can be of interest because
these directories contain my patches to the original source.

If you are interested or need help with some Debian packaging magic,
just drop me a line!

Cheers,

Q. Why is top posting bad?
