OpenCog packaging-related files for Debian / Ubuntu is available on GitHub

[Masayuki Hatta]

Hi,

As I wrote here sometime ago, I made and occasionally update OpenCog packages for Debian / Ubuntu for my personal use.

Recently I sorted out packaging files and put them into my GitHub repo: https://github.com/mhatta/opencog-debian

Seems now there is the "opencog-nix" repo in the official OpenCog GitHub repo.  How about transfering my opencog-debian to the official OpenCog repo?

I think under the officia OpenCog repo, it would get more exposure (and attention from the potential contributors).

Best regards,

MH

Um,

Sure I guess. The long-term thing for nix is to get the final results
upstream, into the nix process; so that repo is "temporary" or
"experimental". So, for Debian, the long-term strategy would be to
have debian packages on debian unstable, just like any other debian
package. I don't know how that process actually works. But "in the
meanwhile" having a github repo is fine by me. Just "transfer
ownership", and I can click on the "accept" button (and then give you
back admin priviledges)

Seems I need the ability to create repositories on the OpenCog repo
before the transfer. Could you give me the privilege?

I intend to upload OpenCog to Debian when it's ready -- I understand
OpenCog is still in early alpha stage.

BTW, link-grammar is stable and already in the official Debian
archive. Sadly it lacks a Debian maintainer and might be removed
soon: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/link-grammar I might take over
the Debian maintainership.

Best regards,
MH

I think you just need to click on "transfer", and I get an email and then
I click "accept".

The goal was to have atomspace be the stable stuff, and opencog be
the experimental stuff. This is more of a kind-of platform, so thinking
of it as alpha/beta is misleading.

Wow. I looked at the tracker; If there's anything I could do upstream
I'd do it but I can't really see,

GitHub's Transfer ownership explanation says:

Transfer this repository to another user or to an organization where
you have the ability to create repositories.

And if I try it says: "You don’t have the permission to create
repositories on opencog"

Oh right. I know. transfer it to me, first. --linas
