I'd suggest using our distribution-neutral binary packages from aetey.se. They are maintained and they work. We are using them with Debian too. If you want a better integration into a certain distribution: The integration into startup scripts and alike could be added by a .deb/.rpm/younameit wrapper. This would separate the need for Coda-related skills (we/Aetey patch, compile and package "Coda functionality") and the need for the distribution-related skills. There are lots of distributions out there and we can not follow lots of moving targets :) Note that such a .deb would be relatively easily maintainable as it will not depend on Debian-specific libraries (we ship everything needed and it is actually not much overhead). I would be happy to provide assistance for handling our installers if you would like to package them in distribution-specific forms and track our updates to the installers. Regards, Rune
