Dear Thomas,

I've just found textlint for Emacs[1] and wondered, whether it could be packaged for Debian (or any other Distro). Unfortunately the Git repo does not contain the source code of textlint but only several binaries. So I wondered whether all the textlint logic happens locally or whether the plugin contacts a textlint server?

Even if the textlint source code would be available, it seems that textlint depends on Pharo, which also isn't packaged for Debian. Is that right? I don't know anything about Smalltalk, so I can't package Pharo myself, but I'd be happy to help if somebody of you would be interested to package it.
I'm really interested in getting TextLint distributed as a debian and ubuntu packages. If you can lead this, I will help you as much as I can. I don't think you need a package for Pharo itself. Just try to create a package from what is on github: the pharo image + VM + bash and emacs scripts. You can send me private emails.
