[Pkg-sass-devel] Some Bourbon with that ?

Hi,

It is an interesting list of packages.
Jed Foster who runs the project is also the one who have the repos 
below, I guess.
>> https://github.com/jedfoster/bourbon-compass
>> https://github.com/jedfoster/neat-compass

My background in ruby, sass and compass is close to zero.
My understanding that all project are not compatible out of the box ?
Bourbon "pure" will not run under compass?

Also I was already bitten by some incompatibilities between bourbon and 
compass, expansions that both libs does. They are after all 
preprocessors, and do not have name-spaces..

The idea would be to add the ability to run under compass in the 
packaging, and not convert the original Bourbon code in a separate 
github project. But maybe that is out of the scope..

Eg. Source package bourbon -> final packages bourbon and bourbon-compass

This would not rely on https://github.com/jedfoster/bourbon-compass 
being up to date, but also be more work, depending on what has to be 
done to make it work. Same with Bitters that does not seem to have
a bitters-compass equivalent repository.

Anyone can chim in with more information about the 
relations/collaborations between the projects ?

I do not mind using CDBS I just do not know it well, gem2deb was a quick 
win.
It generated the skeleton. I got all files set up as a first, and just 
had to write an install file. The files themselves can then be converted
to CDBS.
