Hi, the very first version of "How Software Producers Can Distribute Their Products Directly in .deb Format" is available at
http://www.isotton.com/debian/docs/distribute-deb.xml http://www.isotton.com/debian/docs/distribute-deb.html It isn't finished yet, and some of the most important parts are still only in my head. However, here a few things: - I'm no native English speaker. Please point out any typos, errors or badly written sentences. I'm glad if you do so. (No, I haven't ispelled it yet). - I've never set up a debian development environment on a non-debian machine. Are there any documents I could read about that? - I've never set up a debian repository. Where can I read more about that? - Is the GFDL an appropriate license? - Should I encourage the use of non-free, or is it better not to have non-free packages in Debian at all? - Is it normal that calling xsltproc directly takes about 2-3 seconds and xmlto about 20-30? - Please send your feedback to the lists as well if possible. I appreciate when other people comment what you say. So I know when it's no good :) -- Aaron Isotton http://www.isotton.com/ My GPG Public Key: http://www.isotton.com/gpg-public-key
