aka SPP

List of things to support

Manual builds (configure/make x3, ant) from Git source code
Constructing release version source code packages
Build from Git clone or release package via build-all
Debian package
Other packages (RPM, Mac)
We will not package binaries for exotic systems (Blue Gene, Cray)

Status

Manual builds work
build-all works
Release packaging is broken since the move to GitHub
Debian - in progress
Always need feedback on documentation

Harder questions

How to document 3rd party installations (especially MPI, Tcl). Wozniak favors minimal documentation for these things.
How to produce binary packages that support Python, R, Java, etc.
