I have seem some projects package their own software and distribute it as a standalone .deb package, PPA, or apt repository. If the GNU Health team wants to do this, it would then be easy to add GNU Health to Trisquel's repositories. If not, we could make a request for packaging in Debian. If a Debian maintainer takes on the task, GNU Health could be made available in Debian and all downstream distributions, including Ubuntu and Trisquel. If that doesn't work, a third party could package it in a PPA. I've learned how to create very simple Debian packages, but glancing at the GNU Health source code it looks outside my skill level. > An one more question chaosmonk, as I have seen in one of your links, > should something like this work in order to try to install GNU Health on > Trisquel 8?: > > $ gnuhealth-3.4.0.tar.gz Did you mean to say > $ tar xf gnuhealth-3.4.0.tar.gz ? > $ cd gnuhealth-3.4.0/ > $ sudo apt install python-setuptools python3-setuptools Installing setuptools is necessary if this is the first time you've compiled a program that uses setuptools.

If you are missing some dependencies, you'll have to install those first. If a missing dependency is in Trisquel's repository, you can just install it with apt. If not, you'll need to build it too. Why don't you give it a try, and "python setup.py build" fails, copy/paste the error message here.
