On the channels I tried to contact them, the mailing list was the the most responsive until now. Afaik the problem is that only 1 dev is available and even he is busy. I have also seen a that Olivier Mehani has many unmerged branches in his forked repo ( https://git.sr.ht/~shtrom/mediagoblin ).

I think it would not be hard to create a debian packaging. Getting an injection into the official debian (ubuntu) repos might be much more hard.

I believe the configure script is useful to attract developers accustomed to the gnu, but not to the python world. And the current script is not a big one, effectively it is just a wrapper around the python setuptools. It could be a wrapper also around PyConfigure with minimal work.

Before I have found this ticket, also I have found (and fixed) the problem. I second, the patch looks correct. [I intentionally do not link my equivalent patch because I want a quick merge].

After a full compilation, there are intermediary files created, which are not in the .gitignore. Namely:
- package-lock.json and package.json (generated by npm)
- pyvenv.cfg (generated by virtualenv)
Beside them, install-sh is not in the gitignore, while it is automatically created by the autoconf.
This patch improves these in the .gitignore: https://gitlab.com/peter.horvath/mediagoblin/-/commits/gitignore-fix/ Please merge.

Hi, I tracked down the problem to the embedded IF clause in configure.ac . I suggest to apply my change from here: https://gitlab.com/peter.horvath/mediagoblin/-/commits/bugfix/12
The problem is that the embedded AS_IF macro seems not working with newer gnu autoconf. I did not track, exactly why, possibly it is intentional. Most importantly, we just don't need it, because AS_IF already supports the syntax what we want to.
