I am in the process of packaging Julia 0.4.0. To run on the hardware
considered for the ShowMeBox project, the julia package will first
have to be ported to the armhf architecture. Would you be interested
in helping with the porting?

Regarding julia-gadfly, so far no Julia packages have been packaged
for Debian, relying on users to install packages using Pkg.add().

@Sébastien: What are your thoughts on packaging Julia packages?

Peter
