Our co-op quoted for making the deb in April 2009 but nothing since. I think libhttp-oai-perl may still need packaging. If anyone is interested in sponsoring the work, please let me know. We'll get around to filing it in bugs.koha.org one day. > Similarly, as Senthil mentioned in the early email below, there is a > CPAN package for all the Perl pre-reqs for Koha.

It could be turned into a debian package but I do not see any benefit to the debian packaging in doing so. The CPAN bundle package seems more likely to help people installing from source or less friendly distributions.

The last 3.0 effort is still on the collab-maint git tree, but probably the new debhelper and debian source formats could make a better and easier to update package now. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.announce/1413 If you submit it to http://mentors.debian.net/ and include me as an Uploader, it should email me and then I will review the package and upload it to the main distributon when time permits.
