Hi:

We have been watching this ITP for some months but we have found that
there is no advance. Is there any chance to this ITP could progress any
time soon? We are trying to use CCL because of its multiplatform
capabilities (now running even on Raspberry Pi [1]) so we are very
insterested in this ITP.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Rafael,

I'm willing to work with you (time permitting) if you want to use the CCL
Debian packaging. You don't have to wait till it gets into Debian
(assuming that ever happens). As far as I know it should work, though it
has only been lightly tested.

Perfect, where should I begin?

Greets and thanks again. Rafael.

Well, first do you just want binaries that work on your platform, or so you want to know how to build it yourself? Obviously, I would prefer the latter, because that way someone would have to look at my documentation and procedures, which could probably do with improvement. I think this is also preferable from your perspective for a package that isn't officially part of Debian.

If you did want the former, I could just dump some binary debs somewhere, but that won't help you if I disappear off the net tomorrow.

Do you have a group of people who are interested in using this? If so, can you give me a little more detail about them?

As a first step, clone the following Mercurial repositories.

https://bitbucket.org/faheem/ccl-debian
https://bitbucket.org/faheem/ccl-bootstrap-debian
https://bitbucket.org/faheem/ccl-ffigen-debian

Start by seeing if you can build and install the ccl-ffigen package. That is the easiest. If you have problems with it, let me know. And what platform/arch will you be building on?

                                                          Regards, Faheem
