Wow, lengthy discussion, let me sum up some of my thoughts: 1) I already have Ubuntu packages in a private PPA. I'll clean those up and make public if there is such interest.
2) Jason, if you know a DD, it'd be great to ask for mentorship. I have packaged python deb stuff before (I'm a Maemo contributor), it's just that none of that was official Debian business. 3) It would not get out of date. Every distribution has an updates repository that is *expected* to be update with newer ABI/API compatible versions of the initial release. Since web2py has backward compatibility as one of it's cornerstones, this means we can have up- to-date versions in even fairly old distribution releases. 4) Not sure how much use from having .deb-s directly on the web2py.com page (think dependencies, etc). Pointing to a repository is the Right Way (TM). 5) Debian repositories are not just for PR. web2py is easy to install, but that doesn't mean it looks nice or professional on a .deb based system. Think about automatic service startups, interfacing with with apache, having libraries in the right place, satisfying various python dependencies, an OS friendly/consistent way of upgrading/installing, being backup friendly, etc. On May 29, 3:43 am, mdipierro <[email protected]> wrote: > > Presently Web2Py so easy to install, even a Cave Man could do it? :-) > > I agree.
