[needs-packaging] Dart Editor and SDK

[Jarl]

I wish the Dart Editor and SDK will be included in the Ubuntu distribution repositories.

It is open source and can be downloaded here:

This bug is tagged needs-packaging which identifies it as a request for a new package in Ubuntu. As a part of the managing needs-packaging bug reports specification, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Specs/NeedsPackagingBugs, all needs-packaging bug reports have Wishlist importance. Subsequently, I'm setting this bug's status to Wishlist.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Darteditor bundles Eclipse Editor in its own.

I think that this is versus our usual packaging methods.

What about offering a package for the Darteditor addon for Eclipse?

[Eduard Gotwig (gotwig)]

What about splitting this bug up into two or three other ones.

Most important is the SDK:

Than comes the editor, provided as an extension for Eclipse. This editor extension depends on the SDK.
It brings all of the dart standard libraries with it
Get here an overview: http://www.dartlang.org/docs/dart-up-and-running/ch03.html

It offers the following commandline tools (says the website):
    Dart-to-JavaScript compiler (dart2js)
    Dart VM (dart)
    Dart package manager (pub)

Least but not last, there is also a Dartium webbrowser, a modified version of Chromium that supports dart.
I think this is not ready yet for the mass market, so we should just wait until Dart becomes part of the Chromium project.
