@sruthi So, we started with Python packaging and ended up with Node packaging, eh? Nice. :)

@balasankarchelamat Javascript is everywhere! Pagure needs it, gnukhata needs it, groupserver needs it, any python web app needs it. And thanks to excellent hack by @mohammedsadikpk , we have updated tasks page on debian wiki for all important node packages.

We are starting with yargs (dependency for updating uglifyjs) https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/Tasks/yargs

All,
Steps for packaging Node.js modules is listed here https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/Npm2Deb

And you can come to debian-in@conference.diasp.in chat group if you need any help.

@abhisheks you'll have to join Kochi Python mailing list, hope someone here can share the mailing list details.

@mohammedsadikpk can you generate dependency list for jison?

@sadiq can you try to fix http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=840174 ? npm2deb is written in python and its source is available at https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-javascript/npm2deb.git

I have contacted some folks and asked them to try fixing some bugs in npm2deb (its written in python). Please comment on the bugs if you have started working on any bugs.

Others please take one from http://bugs.debian.org/npm2deb and comment here before starting.
