Do it. Now! :) > I'm not sure what you think about people contributing their own software > or about such a program which is only of use for a small group of users. There are a lot of programs for a small group of people. Build a package for your software and provide it. > So would it make sense to contribute a debian package Yes, of course. > and if yes how to proceed best? If you want to build the package yourself, you should open an ITP bug-report against wnpp, read the Debian New Maintainers Guide, build your package, upload your (source) package (maybe to mentors.debian.net) and discuss the result with experienced packagers/developers (e.g. at mentors mailing list). If everything is ok, search for a sponsor (read the mentors faq) or become a DD (described somewhere at debian.org) to officially get your package into Debian. If you don't want to package the software yourself, you should open a RFP bug-report against wnpp and search for someone, who wants to build the package. BTW: Please advertise a cross-post.
