OK, I don't want to hijack this thread but after reading mostly negative comments I would like to say somethings about why I participate in GetDeb.
A little bit of history, I stumbled upon GetDeb when I was looking for Pidgin. Back then it wasn't available in Feisty and I wanted to use the latest version. When I saw the website I got very excited about the goal to supply the latest software for Ubuntu. The main reason why I started creating packages for Getdeb was the fact it was so easy to participate. I created an updated package and within two days it was up on the site. I tend to create packages I use myself or I believe it is a great asset to Ubuntu. This is one of the reason you won't see me creating packages for games at the moment. I did check to see if I could help out creating packages for as some call it, the inside Ubuntu community. All I could find was becoming a MOTU which is a whole process and I wasn't, and I'm still not, ready for that. Not until this thread I found out that for backports it's different. I will check out the backport process and see if I could help out there as well. I won't abandon the Getdeb project, it's a great project to participate in. -- Peter van der Does GPG key: E77E8E98 IRC: Ganseki on irc.freenode.net Blog: http://blog.avirtualhome.com Jabber ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM: petervanderdoes GetDeb Package Builder http://www.getdeb.net - Software you want for Ubuntu
