Adam,
Sounds like great work. I'm the maintainer/developer of Jetty, a jboss developer and a debian user so I'm keen to help create a debian package for Jetty to fit in with your JBoss work. But I know zip about making debian packages, so if you can tell me what to do to make the deb package for Jetty, I'll put support for it in the standard version of Jetty, plus migrate that to the copy of Jetty that is in JBoss3. The main thing I don't know about is the disk layout to use and dependancies etc. NB. I'm away until Wednesday, but will get your deb's of JBoss then and see what I can work out. cheers Adam Heath wrote: > I am proud to announce that I have finally finished(well, close enough, > anyways) the debs of JBoss(www.jboss.org).
