That's a long story. I created the python subdirectory to try to
organize the specs at SFE a little, but that was later voted down. So
the python subdirectory is being phased out.

I'm one of the people who is setting it up. You can get an idea of what
it will contain from here: http://staticdev.uk.openindiana.org:10003

The main thing holding us back at this point is providing copyright
information for all of the packages. I know absolutely nothing about
that, but you seem to be quite good at it. It would be very nice if you
could help us with this, since that would probably allow us to make the
initial release of this OI repository sooner.

Please feel free to join the freenode channel #pkgbuild so we can
discuss this more interactively and informally. My nick there is herzen.

Oh, sorry. I assumed that those links you gave just pointed to files in
your repo at github.

That would be nice. I actually looked into creating a spec for SBCL, but
decided it would involve too much work.

So, if you would want to help with that OI repository, you could really
speed things up if you could look over the specs that we are using for
it and make them provide proper copyright information. If you might be
interested in doing that, please email me or ping me at #pkgbuild.
