Mayavi debian packages for Gutsy

I have decided that delivering packages of the latest release of the Enthought Tool Suite to the users was something important, as some of the new features (interactive docs for Mayavi, decoupling of Mlab from Envisage) are really neat, and we have the feeling the suite is quite mature.

I spent the whole day fighting with debian packages (which I don’t know anything about) and launchpad PPA. It is not something I enjoin learning, but the important is to keep the user satisfied.

To get the packages under ubuntu gutsy, just add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

# Package archive for enthought tools
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gael-varoquaux/ubuntu gutsy main

You will be getting three packages:

  • python-enthought-traits
  • python-enthought-traits-ui
  • mayavi2

I want to do rpms. I could really use some help here, none of any of the boxes I have a login onto are rpm-based. I would like to be able to build rpms that work for fedora, red-hat, and mandriva. Anyone ?
