I think it would not be very hard to integrate them in the configure
system. However ultimately I think we should find people who are willing
to maintain a package for a distribution. I think there is much more to
packaging than just keeping a spec file up-to-date. I looked briefly at
the packaging guidelines for fedora and it looks like quite a bit of
work (for someone who has no experience). But then again for someone who
knows his or her way around all the guidelines for the particular
distribution I think liblouis(xml) should not be very hard to package,
since it is a fairly straight forward autotools package.
In Debian for example you can request a software to be packaged. Maybe
there is something similar in fedora? Maybe we should get the ball
rolling with packaging?
Thanks
Christian
