[Pkg-julia-devel] Julia entered Debian!

[Viral Shah]

Sebastien,

Thanks for all the efforts in getting this going and getting julia accepted into debian. I am copying a few other folks on this thread.

We should certainly do a new version, perhaps try to do once a month, until v0.1 is released. Let's try to aim for and fix the build issues on arm and powerpc, if possible before you make the next upload. Could you file these as issues on github?

Chaos month is almost over, but it seems that the module stuff is still undergoing some experimentation. Jeff should say where we stand.

Are you planning to create debian packages for julia packages in the near future? We need to strike the right balance for apt installed packages, and julia's Pkg installed packages.

Are there any debian/ubuntu deadlines that we should keep in mind when planning a julia release?
