Hi Cyril, Unfortunately, packaging in Debian relies on a volunteer who is willing to donate their spare time working on packaging this application. Given the bug is still an RFP (Request For Package), no one has committed to spend their spare time on it. I noticed that several people have expressed interest. Please note that: Anyone who is willing to put in the effort and accept that commitment can package retroshare for Debian. If you are up for the challenge, Debian provides several resources including the debian-ment...@lists.debian.org mailing list for general Debian related packaging questions. For a packaging tutorial, I can recommend https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/packaging-tutorial/packaging-tutorial (which can also be used for "internal-only" packaging at work or at home if that has any interest). Thanks, ~Niels
