It really wouldn't seem very hard. I stopped using vue more than two years ago but, as I remember it, all that was necessary was to create a deb that didn't carry any jars other than vue's. If I remember correctly, the policy to include a package in the repos requires that you don't package the program with auxiliary libraries. Rather, you are expected to place them in seperate packages so that other programs that use any of those libraries can depend on the packages that provides each one of them. This might imply that many other packages have to be included in the repos so that vue can itself be included (vue has lots of dependencies).
Also, I don't know if somebody has checked whether those libraries can be linked together. Some may have conflicting licences and, if that were the case, Ubuntu would not allow the package to be uploded to the official repos. Unless someone does want to work on this, I think it would be enough is somebody could build the deb once (with auxiliary libraries) and make it available for everyone else (post it on a website). It would take less than 1 hour for anybody who's created a deb before (ideally it would be somebody who uses this). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295485 Title: [needs-packaging] Add Visual Understanding Environment to main repositories To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/295485/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
