Market Data Uploader on Linux?

I'm running EVE on Debian Wheezy 64-bit under WINE, and want to upload market data, but am having a hard time getting a solution to work. I tried EVEMon, but it won't let me specify the cache location. I also tried a python uploader, but it fails to install a dependency (Reverence).

Does anyone have a solution that is actually working for them?

I haven't tried using it, but I did just manage to install and launch the python uploader you've mentioned. Though it took me some time realizing what pip actually is (the package is called python-pip), so I've installed reverence without it. Used lubuntu 13.04.

Where exactly does reverence installation fail?

Try installing the following packages before building reverence:

python-dev (reverence installer was asking for python.h)
python-yaml
libyaml-dev (not sure if necessary)

Installing those 3 enabled me to succesfully build reverence

Thanks, Torgeir. I was missing python-dev.

On Debian Wheezy 64-bit, these are the packages I needed to install before following the installation instructions for the EVE Market Data Uploader:

python-pip
python-yaml
python-dev

I already have dual-architecture set up, so can't say whether that's required or not (wouldn't think so in this case).

The only issue I had after install was that it didn't detect my cache directory correctly, so I had to point it to my Tranquility folder, like so:
emdu_console --add-eve "/home/[MY USERNAME]/.wine/[MY WINE PREFIX DIR]/drive_c/users/[MY USERNAME]/Local Settings/Application Data/CCP/EVE/c_program_files_ccp_eve_tranquility/"

Now, when I view market data for a game item, it automatically uploads it so that it becomes available on eve-central.com and other places. If you rely on those sites for market intelligence, I recommend that you help out by running an uploader. The more people do so, the more accurate, up-to-date and useful the market data is.
