*Package name : processing version : 0125 BETA Upstream Authors: Ben Fry <mail@benfry.com>, Casey Reas <info@reas.com> *URL: http://www.processing.org/download/index.html *License : GPL/LGPL Programming Language: Processing, Java Description: A programming language for images, animations, and interactions From the project webpage (http://www.processing.org): "Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions. It is used by students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists for learning, prototyping, and production. It is created to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context and to serve as a software sketchbook and professional production tool. Processing is developed by artists and designers as an alternative to proprietary software tools in the same domain."
I just wanted to state that this, i.e me taking over this bug, is done in agreement between me and the previous owner, Jordi :) Cheers, Runa Sandvik
Hi Runa! How are you progressing with getting processing packaged? Do you need help? Perhaps you'd like to set up a project on alioth.debian.org to enable collaborative maintenance of the package? Cheers,
Hello, I'm planning to ITP processing under the umbrella of the debian-java team. Do you have anything done that can be re-used for this effort? Feel free to stop by #debian-java in OFTC and we can talk about it, and of course join efforts if you are still interested. (I'm DrDub.) (Jordi, I understand Runa took over, but I'm cc:ing you in case you we don't hear from Runa.) Best regards, Pablo
2010/1/1 Pablo Duboue <pablo.duboue@gmail.com>: Nice, good luck. No, not really. The real difficulty is that last time I thought of doing this, there were a lot of other Java libraries that had to be tracked down and packaged first. I long ago lost interest. I'm not sure about Runa, but I guess she has too.
Hi Taisuke, Would you consider bringing it into the Debian-Java project (http://java.debian.net/)? It is as easy as joining the Alioth project. I need this for packaging Processing, which you are of course also invited to help packaging. P.
Hi Pablo, Excuse me for the delay in response. I'd be happy to join in. So what should I do now? Should I simply submit joining request form on project page? Since I recently started as Debian package maintainer, I'm not an DD/DM (yet). So I needed someone to do me a sponsored upload. I guess changing header to "Maintainer: Debian Java maintainers" make things easier, so joining Debian-Java project sounds great for all of us. Best Regards, Taisuke Yamada
To try the current prototype, as root, install the following packages: apt-get install librxtx-java libjna-java libantlr-java libjogl-java libitext- java liblog4j1.2-java openjdk-6-jdk libecj-java cdbs then go to some work folder, mkdir processing-1.0.9 cd processing-1.0.9 svn co svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-java/trunk/processing mv processing debian ./debian/rules get-orig-source # that'll take a long long time # you should end up with ../processing_1.0.9.orig.tar.gz cd .. tar -zxvf ./processing_1.0.9.orig.tar.gz cd processing-1.0.9 fakeroot debian/rules patch fakeroot debian/rules binary that should produce two .deb. Once installed, you can activate processing with /usr/bin/processing
Hi,
When I follow your instructions, I have the following errors when I do
debian/rules binary.

I can't seem to find where this might be being caused.
Cheers,
Hi everyone willing to contribute their effort for processing packaging! I need it as a depends for JIST (ITP #587820), so I wonder how your efforts are going forward... any kind of an update would be very appreciated. Cheers,
Any progress? FYI, libprocessing-core has been packaged from the same Processing 1.2.1 source (#621920). But only processing-core.jar was packaged. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=621920
Control: owner -1 ! That’s been a long time without action, so let me try to take over this ITP. I just joined pkg-java-maintainers@l.a.d.o and debian-java@l.d.o, hopefully we’ll be able to push it further this time (explicit CC to everyone who showed interest in this package, in the hope to make the “we” as less royal as possible). Regards David P.-S.: I intend to take as much as possible from the packaging work already started by Pablo, and from the processing-core package too.
Hi David! Good luck with the packaging. Last week I was using processing for something and remembered this ITP. I should have dropped it, thanks for taking it. I had a working build for processing for a very old version (which was doing the build as a series of scripts). The newer versions use a much saner system, so my work is no longer relevant. If you have something, I can help you test it and if you want to bounce ideas, I'll be at #debian-java again (I'm DrDub). Great news! P.
retitle 433270 RFP: processing -- a programming language for images, animations, and interactions noowner 433270 tag 433270 - pending thanks Hi, A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging processing. Unfortunately, it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to refrain from packaging the software. This is an automatic email to change the status of processing from ITP (Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen any activity during the last 12 months. If you are still interested in packaging processing, please send a mail to <control@bugs.debian.org> with: retitle 433270 ITP: processing -- a programming language for images, animations, and interactions owner 433270 ! thanks It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to time, by mailing <433270@bugs.debian.org>. If you need guidance on how to package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list. Thank you for your interest in Debian,
Hi, this is just a note to say I'd like to get this ITP moving again.
it's been 4 years since there's been any activity on this one....is anyone still actually working on it?
