[Twisted-Python] Call For Packagers
Are you packaging Twisted for a major platform? Do our users know that? I have just created a placeholder wiki page for package maintainers to link to their particular distribution, explain packaging or installation issues, identify themselves and list appropriate fora for complaining about packaging. http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Packages If you are a package maintainer, or you are building packages of Twisted for public consumption (RPMs, ebuilds, debs, MSIs, or whatever the crap it is that Slackware uses these days) please add some information about yourself there. If you are a package maintainer and you do not have wiki edit permission **please speak up**, a lot more people should have wiki edit than currently do. Thanks a lot.

Not officially, but yes.
Do our users know that?
Probably not.

Actually I liked slackware a lot before turning irremediably to BSD.

I have made unofficial OpenBSD ports for various twisted things. Everything at: http://ekyo.nerim.net/openbsd/index.html Eric

As I suspected :).
I've added you to this page, but please add information (what version of Twisted you've packaged, what subprojects are supported, etc) as necessary. I'd like this page to be updated frequently and be as authoritative as possible. On #twisted today for the 100th or so time I repeated our packaging situation, poor communication with packagers, no central source of information, etc, and I realized that this is why people think packages like TurboGears are so great. Probably 50% of Twisted's learning curve is just figuring out how to install it, and that's sad: originally an explicit goal was no non-Python dependencies so that users could just download and run. Of course these days that's not really feasible, since you *can* run Twisted without dependencies, but nobody wants to use it without SSH support, without conch, and so forth. So it should be really well documented how to install it on your particular platform.

Well, I advertised it on the openbsd port mailing list and some people were interrested. I have good hope that these ports can make it to the official port tree sooner or later.

I'll check that.

Concerning OpenBSD, all dependencies (py-crypto, etc) are found in the official port tree. Installation is very easy. Anyway, I have never understood what is so complicated with "python setup.py install --prefix=..." (and why people want nasty eggs now. We hatessss nassty eggsss. curse them!). Eric.

By the way, my twisted account is soyt. I don't think I have wiki edit permission. Eric.
Hi Glyph! I package the various twisted components for Fink (fink.sf.net). That said, I do not have access to edit that page apparantly. (or if I do, I am blind to where the edit link is) My account on there is "jadestorm". Daniel On Jun 1, 2006, at 5:44 PM, glyph@divmod.com wrote:

I *think* I just gave you the permission to do that. Check and let me know? :)
You did indeed. =D I don't seem to have access to edit a "page about me". (I just called it jadestorm) Would you mind granting me access to that? (or if you want the page about me to be named differently, that's cool too) Daniel On Jun 1, 2006, at 6:48 PM, glyph@divmod.com wrote:

You certainly should be able to. Are you getting an error message or something? As per wiki convention, the page should probably be named JadeStorm, or DanielHenninger, even. -- Christopher Armstrong International Man of Twistery http://radix.twistedmatrix.com/ http://twistedmatrix.com/ http://canonical.com/
Note I just switched it to DanielHenninger. I get: Page DanielHenninger not found With no edit/add abilities on the page. Is it just that I'm not doing the right thing? Daniel On Jun 2, 2006, at 10:09 AM, Christopher Armstrong wrote:

I package most of the Twisted stuff for FreeBSD, although not all. I've just created myself a trac account "nealie" if feel like giving me edit permission. All the Twisted ports for FreeBSD can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=twisted&stype=all On Thu, 2006-06-01 at 17:44 -0400, glyph@divmod.com wrote:
