This weekend I moved my blog to a different server. This meant I could: Enable IPv6 Enable SSL Set up a pump.io profile I've tested it, and it's working. I'm hoping that I can swap out the Node.js modules one-by-one for the Debian-packaged versions.
[The story so far: I'm packaging pump.io for Debian.] 4 packages uploaded to NEW: node-webfinger validator.js websocket-driver node-openid 2 packages eliminated as not needed: set-immediate - deprecated crypto-cacerts - not needed on Debian 1 package in progress: node-databank Got my eye on: oauth-evanp - this is a fork with two patches, so I need to investigate the status of those. node-iconv-lite - needs files downloaded from the internet, so I'm considering how to add them to the source package dateformat/moment - there's an open discussion about combining Node.js modules, and I'm wondering if these are affected. Thoughts Currently I'm averaging around one package upload a day, I think? Which would mean ~1 month to go? But there may be challenges around getting packages through the NEW queue in time to build-depend on them. ...
I intend to intend to package pump.io for Debian. It's going to take a long time, but I don't know whether that's weeks or years yet. The world needs decentralized social networking. I discovered the tools that let me create this wiki summary of the progress in pump.io packaging. There are at least 35 dependencies that need uploading, so this would go a lot faster if it weren't a solo effort - if anyone else has some time, please let me know! But meanwhile I'm hoping to build some momentum. ...
