[Pkg-julia-devel] 0.5 version and debianizing .jl packages

[Fabricio Cannini]

Hi there

I have some questions related to the upcoming version 0.5 release:

- Do you (members of pkg-julia-devel) think it is already about time to 
start debianizing more .jl packages (the ones you get through 
`Pkg.add("foo")`) ?

- I see that some functions were removed from the core julia runtime to 
its own .jl package 
[https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/v0.5.0/NEWS.md#deprecated-or-removed]
Do you intend to package it ? (Not sure if dependent of the first question)

- I also noticed that there is no (or could not find) packaging 
guidelines. Is there any already?

- And more importantly, do you need/welcome a (sorta rusty) hand to help 
work on what I've pointed out?
