No problem - I started making it for myself so I can easily update PyCUDA, not to have mess in files on my machine, etc. :-) > I've added a link to your page to the Wiki: > http://wiki.tiker.net/PyCuda/Installation/Linux/Debian Thanks. You can also add link to Debian bug page describing intention of packaging PyCUDA: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=546919 If there are some important information I will put them there, and if this bug becomes closed (fixed) it means that package went to Debian repositories. > > What would it take to get this into Debian proper? Anything I can do to > help? The only thing I can for now is licensing. As Yaroslaw advised I have run lintian on packages and started fixing errors and warnings. One of them was regarding license of packages - Debian requires proper license text in package to ease decision whether packages is free, and so on. I assume that those packages are under MIT.

As for including into Debian - there is opened ITP (Intention To Package) bug (mentioned above); for now we need to wait till nVidia CUDA toolkit is also packaged and included in Debian. Then Debian Developer needs to sponsor packages and they can be included in Debian. For now nVidia packaging team is busy with making sure that drivers are OK and all libraries are present - e.g. they are packaging OpenCL now, and checking whether old bugs are still present. As you noted earlier, for some time Debian had old version of binary drivers and migration of new ones takes time.
