[jokosher-devel] Autopackage of Jokosher

["Taj Morton" <tajmorton gmail com>]

Hey Guys,
Nice work on Jokosher 0.2, it looks great!

I'm a dev from the Autopackage team and am interested in making an
Autopackage of Jokosher. Yes, I know it uses an unreleased gstreamer,
but I might as well take a crack at it for "when the time comes."

I took a look at the Download 0.1 page which has a list of deps.
Awesome, thanks! What I really need is a list of the /versions/
required. E.g., what version of python-alsaaudio, dbus, dbus-python,
etc is required.

I'm thinking that instead of a bunch of little packages for
python-alsaaudio, python-dbus, python-cairo, and python-glade2, it'd
be better to include them all in the Jokosher autopackage (along with
python). This is because Python has an unstable ABI which changes
based on how Python is compiled. Translation: A binding that's
compiled on Fedora Core won't work on a Mandriva system and vice
versa. See http://plan99.net/autopackage/Linux_Problems#python and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=173990 for
details.

The only really common dep I see on the list is Cairo. All the others
I'll probably make an Autopackage for and submit it
upstream--hopefully for the projects to maintain and release
themselves.

So, if someone could come up with a list of what versions of what is
required, that'd be great! Also, comments are welcome!

Cheers,
Taj
