Hi Andreas, Well, its fine by me in checking-in the control files to the repository. The reason why I was bragging about the procedures is that, I am new to it and thought that they are very hard and fast :) Right now I would prefer option two, since now I am into developing and maintaining a deb package is pretty new to me. So this time, I will upload the packages in mentors and will send you the link so that you can inject them. Once I am done, I will ask for the credintials from alioth.debian.org and will learn doing it myself.

As for Josselin's mail, I agree to your reply that its doesn't come under dictionary category, since its a thesaurus interface for WordNet and also it works completely offline/local. It has unique features which gdict and startdict lack, like hot key summoning, notifications, etc.. > Just correct me if I'm wrong - I just read the description. I kindly suggest you to try it (http://sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=250410&sel_platform=13326) and see for yourself :) Thanks!

So I would recommend to do so - but finally it is your choice. You have to ask on alioth.debian.org for a guest account and once you got this you can ask for adding you to the debian-science group which automatically grants you write permission to the Debian Science SVN. If this is a to complicated procedure for you for the moment just point me to the *.dsc file on mentors once you uploaded it and I might inject it into Debian Science SVN (if you agree in principle). Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
