A Debian installation (of the package "pike") does not meet the same standards a new pike.ida.liu.se Pike release does today (since some of the people who perform the release cycle work won't consider the work done until it supports SDL, mysql and to have a working pike -x module to name a few criteria).
debians packaging problem do not relate to the issue what modules get packaged.
what's wrong with debians mysql support?
Running an application that requires some aspect of Pike that the Pike on your system doesn't have does not fill (pike -x module is broken, there is no GTK or SDL module, for instance)
huh? please check again! GTK and SDL are there.
i was citing debian to show that seperating out the core is a packaging and not a development issue. so this is going off on a tangent.
there was mention of someone else packaging pike for debian. where are those packages? i'd like to use and test them (they don't need to be official debian packages to be usable)
