News regarding Scryer Prolog package for Debian

[triska]

Dear all,

today I found an encouraging update on one of the Debian mailing lists, regarding a Scryer Prolog package for Debian:

https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg2000129.html

Quoting from the message:

Snapshot at 2024-10-29 following release 0.9.4 succesfully builds
as an unofficial draft package,
when embedding 23 crates (22 missing, 1 outdated)
which needs to be packaged before this can officially enter Debian.
The built binary runs and works fine.

If anyone is interested in this, please have a look!

Thank you and all the best,
Markus

Does this mean you'd be able to apt install scryer-prolog or something? That would be HUGE!

I expected Scryer Prolog to already be there for some reason, but now I noticed it's not even in the Arch repos. It's in nixpkgs and the AUR though, but everything is there so that's not saying much. Getting into Debian is very important and marks the maturity of a project, I would definitely contribute if I actually used Debian or some derivative of it.
