FYI, I have just uploaded Cherokee for inclusion in Debian! I wanted
to include the relevant mail here, but -of course- as �lvaro is the
maintainer for the package, it is only he who will receive it. Anyway,
consider it done :-D

Now, what comes next? One of the reasons to wait until now before
uploading Cherokee was the Sarge freeze - We didn't want to upset the
system with new packages and dependencies. Cherokee will _NOT_ be a
part of this Debian stable release (which should come out in one to
two months time), but it will become a part of our next release
(Etch). As of now, Cherokee will start being autobuilt in all of the
official Debian architectures, and binary packages will enter the
unstable (Sid) distribution. Once Sarge is released, Cherokee will
also enter the new Testing (Etch).

Right now, it can take a couple of days (or even weeks, I hope not) to
get Cherokee to be hand-approved as a new package and enter
Unstable. Meanwhile, I logged in to a couple of development machines
to hand-compile it as a first test. You can see the results here:

Now, �lvaro: As for a short list of differencies between your
packaging and mine, I am attaching a very simple .diff.gz - You missed
a build-depends (on GNU TLS), I added myself as a co-maintainer for
your package, and a very simplistic modification in the description to
avoid a Lintian/Linda minor warning :)

Greetings!
