Does anyone here have any insight why Joomla has never made it as a
Debian package? I was looking at the Joomla site and did some research
on the relationship between Debian and Joomla. I see that someone in
late 2006 was packaging Joomla for Sid, but it doesn't appear in the
Debian-maintained repositories anymore. Anyone know why this was
discontinued? Are there political reasons it was dropped, or is it just
lack of enough interest to make the project viable?
Well, I guess one of the main reasons is that stable is the suite used
by servers and the updates take a long time to get to stable at least
that this updates are security ones.
And at least me does prefer to install my owns CMS's...

Well, that is one reason I guess. Do you happen to know why security
updates to Joomla would take any longer than security updates to any
other Debian package in stable? I'm just curious as Debian has Zope,
Plone, Drupal, several wiki's, egroupware, and phpgroupware packages in
stable. What is so different about Joomla?
I don't know anything about it other than I from what I read on their
website today, but it seems to me that most GPL'ed software is in Debian
so my curiosity has been piqued. Joomla and webmin are two rather stark
exceptions to the inclusiveness that I find in the Debian repositories,
and I have read the reasoning behind why Debian dropped webmin.
