I am not surprised that you are puzzled, as I am very new packing for Debian and eclipse RCP. Upstream has its own way to pack the more than 45 elexis plugins, all required jars, the whole eclipse, etc into one big blob (see [2]). Therefore I try to pack first a subset that should produce a minimal system using only the directories elexis-utilities elexis elexis-importer mysql-adapter ElexisBasicFeature Will probably use a few things from BuildElexis/rsc/build/build.xml and for elexis-doc elexis-developer-resources dokumentation Today I pushed some changes to the repo and at least the packages are installable and "man elexis" works. The de/elexis.pdf seems okay, but the developer/*.html are not okay. > > Well, it taught me that our tools only work on features. Don't be surprised.
