Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : ruby-middleman Version : 4.1.10 Upstream Author : Thomas Reynolds <m...@tdreyno.com> * URL : https://middlemanapp.com/ * License : MIT Programming Lang: Ruby Description : Build static websites with an easy-to-use framework
Middleman is a Ruby framework for building static websites with HTML-templating languages, compiled-to-CSS languages such as Sass, and compiled-to-JavaScript languages such as CoffeeScript. It is somewhat similar to the Python framework Jekyll. I think this would be useful to have packaged for Debian for greater stability over installing via rubygems.org (which in my experience with fraught with peril). Packaging this for Debian will require packaging some other Ruby "gems", as it built on top of Padrino <http://padrinorb.com/>, which is not already in Debian. It is a widely-used framework <https://middlemanapp.com/community/built_using_middleman/>, and has at least one Debian user (myself).
