Well if upstream third party ports adopt libxo will remain to be seen. However, one thing we can do is to make it super-duper easy for them to incorporate. Then it will be a no-brainer for them to use libxo. I would like to see a Debian package of libxo made, so it can be incorporated into Debian and Ubuntu derived Linux distributions. I have done similar Debian packaging efforts for kyua, atf, and lutok: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=773277 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=773278 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=773279 Does anyone have connections in the Debian community to push these kinds of reviews forward? I've asked on the debian-bsd mailing list, but got no help. I basically need a "Debian Developer" who has privileges to upload packages to the Debian distribution to take the packages that I have made and upload them (after making sure they pass lintian checks). I can take a whack and do something similar for libxo. I was actually very surprised at how hard/bureaucratic it is to get a new package into Debian. FreeBSD ports and Mac Homebrew are actually way easier to work with in terms of adding a new package. However, Debian and Ubuntu have a lot of users, so it is worth the effort to push this kind of stuff through. -- Craig
