Hi all,
Congrats Bala. Hope to see many more packages from you, either on
diaspora or elsewhere :)
Btw, just saw this the other day :-
$ aptitude search diaspora
p diaspora-common -
distributed social networking service - common files
p diaspora-installer -
distributed social networking service - installer
So guess the job is sorta done, the only thing left to do is improve
the packaging of the installer and the various components, update and
streamline the various packages as and when time permits to the people
in the team.
Also saw that the packages are team-maintained at
pkg-ruby-extra-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org.

Description: distributed social networking service - installer
Diaspora (currently styled diaspora* and formerly styled DIASPORA*)
is a free personal web server that implements a distributed social
networking service. Installations of the software form nodes (termed
"pods") which make up the distributed Diaspora social network.
Diaspora is intended to address privacy concerns related to
centralized social networks by allowing users set up their own server
(or "pod") to
host content; pods can then interact to share status updates,
photographs, and other social data. It allows its users to host their
data with a
traditional web host, a cloud-based host, an ISP, or a friend. The
framework, which is being built on Ruby on Rails, is free software and
can
be experimented with by external developers.

This package helps install diaspora using rubygems.
