Also, the issue was not copyright per se, but my employer's name on the PSF Contributor Agreement. I'm _still_ working that issue (2 years! that's depressing), however I was recently granted permission to assume maintainership of an existing Python-style licensed project (pyssh) so there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Hey, that'd be great !
We definitely need more of these bdist_xxx commands, e.g. one for Debian packages, MSI packages, maybe even Inno Setup packages, etc.
I'm chomping to do a bdist_deb, but sitting on my hands hoping someone who can contribute it will do it first. If I get the go-ahead on the others, though, I'll do it. OTOH, we're deprecating HP-UX so unless I can hide a D250 under my desk I may not be able to properly maintain bdist_sdux for long. I know sourceforge has a compile farm. Does anyone know if they have HP-UX available (or am I thinking of something else?).
Note that the PSF is currently working on getting a contributor agreement ready to be published (and it changed a lot since the first round of agreements were discussed).
Perhaps the new version will make things easier for you ?! (I don't have a URL for it, please email the PSF about this issue.)
Thanks, I'll check it into it. Mark -- Mark W. Alexander slash@dotnetslash.net The contents of this message authored by Mark W.
