No, I haven't disappeared entirely :-) Will there be another tarball release soon-ish? I thought I'd wait for that before the next upload to Debian. I could obviously upload based on a snapshot, but as I've said I'd rather stick to official releasees. (You announced the availability of Haskell bindings in the News section on the web. Do I have to pay something for you to mention the availability of Debian packages? :-) > 5. Improving the build system. Right now there are different hacks and > inconsistencies there. Those with autoconf/automake magic fingers might want to look at which library is linked when. When I built ruby and python bindings simultaneously, the python bindings ended up linked to the ruby runtime library but not to he python runtime library. (The python bindings still work since they're loaded by the python interpreter, so the python functions are accessible. But loading libruby is certainly not needed...) > And finally, contributing different HOWTOs to the website would > definitely make life easier for lot of people. As a Linux distribution user: I always liked it when software comes with documentation and not only refers to the web. Not only because the doc is accessible, but also because the doc then actually corresponds to the version I'm working with. (sphinx - I like it :-) Important point for Debian (and possibly ohers): releasing the documentation under the same license as the software simplifies a lot. (Yes, of course, web based documentation can contain corrections, can have a comments section etc. - but bundling a base version and having an updated and interactive copy on the web is not unheard of; the best example I know is how the PostgreSQL folks manage this.) cheers -- vbi -- Could this mail be a fake?
