Hi John,
I have forked the main repo and added standardized debian packaging files so that anyone can checkout and build from source.
to build on a debian machines (with the proper build tools installed):
cd hcron
dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us
In the process I've added standardized python build rules with setuptools
To build in python:
cd hcron
python setup.py
This has the added benefit that it can be installed in a virtualenv using:
pip install <build file from previous step>
But I'm hoping that the changes are useful enough that you can incorporate them into the official repo.
Cheers,
Khosrow
