[Pkg-erlang-devel] Packaging Alice, a RESTfull interface to RabbitMQ written in erlang

[Elliot Murphy]

¡Hola!

I want to package Alice:  http://willcodeforfoo.com/2009/07/13/announcing-alice/

Upstream has not yet released a tarball, and they are using Git. I  
also saw recently that debian is now accepting git format  
sourcepackages. I smell an opportunity to learn something new!  I've  
emailed the Alice list asking about a tarball release, but so far no  
response, so I don't really want to block on that.

Any thoughts on the best way to handle this? Is there a standard way  
to version package that is based on a got snapshot? Also, is it a good  
idea to try and use the gut sourcepackage format? Any other  
suggestions or recommendations that would make it easier to review and  
sponsor the new package?

I have not yet filed or checked for an ITP in the Debian BTS, I'll do  
that tomorrow.

Are there any other hot Erlang apps that should be packaged for Debian?
