[Pkg-javascript-devel] Packaging nw.js

[Micah Lee]

Hello javascript team,

I'm writing some cross-platform free software that uses nw.js [1]
(formerly node-webkit) as a framework. It lets you write desktop
software using HTML, CSS, and javascript, and it also lets you do cool
things like load node.js modules directly into the DOM. At the moment
nw.js is the most popular framework that does this sort of thing.

I'd like to package my software for Debian, but this doesn't appear
possible until nw.js is packaged first. At the moment, the GNU/Linux
instructions for packaging nw.js apps [2] is simply horrible, basically
requiring you to make a folder full of binaries in /opt to work.

Would it be possible for someone on this team to package it? I would
certainly appreciate it, and I think it could do a lot to improve
Debian's javascript desktop app ecosystem.
