I had a look into http://mirrors.medsphere.org/pub/apt/ubuntu/pool/main/f/fis-gtm-5.3004/ http://mirrors.medsphere.org/pub/apt/ubuntu/pool/main/f/fis-gtm-5.3004a/ (the distinction with 'a' in the end is unclear to me - an explanation would be welcome.) I guess you will soon start updating to the latest version. Once you did so I will extract it and move the packaging directory (debian/) to our SVN. Alternatively we might move also this stuff to SVN (or Git at your preference) for historic reasons if you think this makes sense. It might be a reasonable idea to maintain a common Debian / Ubuntu changelog anyway. Once the packaging directory is in our VCS I will be able to have a look into it and try my luck with building the packages. > The next step is that I need to write a GT.M install script that will > provide for a cleaner installation of GT.M from a .deb package.

'a' in the end 2. It is reasonable to put current stuff into Debian Med VCS even if it does not build a valid Debian package. Sometimes it make sense to keep the history - but it is finally your decision.
