The actual quote: >>> A Debian package (either from Debian itself, or the primary authors of the >>> language) or a Gentoo ebuild or build and install with ./configure && make >>> && make install and a default target of /usr/local. <<< Debian packages usually contain precompiled software (optionally source). http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-debpkg.html But it should be from primary athors (Jsoftware, Inc.) of the language Or it could be an archive with a Makefile. More importantly, the only way to find out is to make the actual submission. And the primary requirement to that is to have a substantial number implementations of the benchmarks. It will be useful even if they reject, just for comparison. Attila Vrabecz and I discussed this some time ago. He has a few implementations at his K blog: http://vrabi.web.elte.hu/k/ We could consider having a shootout page at J Wiki to collect implementations there to see if we are going to be ready to submit.

It looks like they've changed the details from the last time I spent any time at the site, but take a look at: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/faq.php#acceptablemore Basically, if the language is not being distributed by Debian or Gentoo, it's not eligible. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
