- take the Maverick package as a start - remove the ubuntu parts, and make it conform to Debian policy and Debian Python policy - make the version 0.5.1-1, which is higher than the Maverick version, so it will upgrade it, and find a friendly sponsor (sadly not me) - it will flow through to ubuntu in a sync That's a *broad* summary, all the usual packaging rules will apply. -- Jonathan Wiltshire 4096R: 0xD3524C51 / 0A55 B7C5 1223 3942 86EC 74C3 5394 479D D352 4C51
