Sorry - dropping the bug and Antoine was unintentional, so forwarding my

Javascript list (so cc'd).

Every now and then I try running tilemill from the github source tree to
see if it is close to something that could be packaged. But I didn't
have success the last couple of times. There is certainly no sniff of a
coming release. It is a shame considering all of the hard work Dave put
in to package all the dependencies.

Not knowing about kosmtk, I started working on mapbox (the one released
in npm):
https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/Tasks/mapbox-studio
Feel free to grab one of the dependencies to package if you are looking
for work.

But kosmtik certainly looks like it would be a much quicker win, and a
better place to start:
$ npm2deb depends kosmtik
Dependencies:
NPM                                               Debian
kosmtik (0.0.12)                                  None
├─ carto (^0.15.2)                                node-carto (0.9.5-2)

└─ semver (^5.0.3)                                node-semver (2.1.0-2)

I will do an ITP & create a task page over the weekend. But please jump
in when/if any of you like. My current work rate is not very high (one
package every other day).

Cheers,

Ross
