There is a problem in "setup-repository": I get "[: 13: freeplane: unexpected operator" (but the script still works). It looks like for non-bash shells we need "=" instead of "==": if [ "$pkgname" = "" ]; then (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3411048/unexpected-operator-in-shell-programming) I probably need to create a new package "simplyhtml-freeplane". Is there a script that creates the basic files? If I want to start with the "simplyhtml" files, how about the following (will document this in the wiki)? - ./setup-repsitory simplyhtml-freeplane (on git.debian.org...) - git clone git+ssh://fnatter-gu...@git.debian.org/git/pkg-java/simplyhtml-freeplane.git - add debian/... - git add ... - git commit -m "Initial version" - git push I guess it's not necessary to import the history from "simplyhtml" because this is a new package?
