Hey all, I'm hoping the people behind https://launchpad.net/~pypy/+archive/ppa are hear :) I'm wondering what the status of this (or any other PPAs) are, and whether it'd be possible to get a PPA that works with Ubuntu 12.04. The people behind http://travis-ci.org/ which is an awesome CI service, would like to be able to deploy PyPy via a deb on 12.04. Thanks, Alex -- "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." -- Evelyn Beatrice Hall (summarizing Voltaire) "The people's good is the highest law." -- Cicero
Hi Alex (2012.05.31_22:28:01_+0200)
So, I maintain PyPy in Debian/Ubuntu itself. PyPy 1.8 is in 12.04, so they can just install that, unless they are wanting newer releases as they become available. I will probably backport future releases to precise-backports, but won't commit to doing that for the life of the release. I was recently added to the team that manages that PPA, with the intention of overhauling it, but haven't done anything about that yet. The PPA's packaging is a bit weird and definitely needs an overhaul. I'm intending to just use the same packaging approach as the distro package (including the patches I'm applying, such as PEP3147 support) SR -- Stefano Rivera http://tumbleweed.org.za/ H: +27 21 461 1230 C: +27 72 419 8559
