Scribe requires a couple of other tools to work: thrift, a framework for services development (born at Facebook too), and thrift-fb303, a piece of thrift used as a bassline layer for Facebook services.
Searching the web for some work-in-progress of a Debian packaging, I found the wonderful work done by SimpleGeo; since I have some changes to do (and also take the occasion to play a bit with github), I forked their repos in these ones: scribe, thrift and thrift-fb303.
I've prepared a repository with those 3 packages, if you would like to try scribe, give it a look. They are for squeeze because, well, after all I need it for work and since it requires Python 2.6, using squeeze was the easiest choice (backporting 2.6 to lenny could be a mess, even if there are packages out there) and so I could also see how the upgrade from lenny would be.
Let's now dive into the doc, and some examples too, to find out the several configuration options and decide what's best for us.
