Hi Rene, sorry for the late reply. Usually you can expect an answer in at least 24 hours but I was quite busy last week with nearly no access to my computer. In any case thanks for contacting this list. I think Phoenix CTMS is a very interesting target for Debian Med and we would be happy to support it in main Debian.

We have to turn some apt-get statements into Build-Depends and depends and it seems we also have to write some pre-/postinstall and -remove scripts to implement the user and database setup. Its all not magic but complex and needs severe testing. > The idea is to package it for debian-med as a next step. > If someone is interested and willing to contribute, pls let me know. Since several years we are running the Mentoring of the Month[1]. This effort is ideal to pair the knowledge of upstream (which we are definitely lacking in the case of Phoenix CTMS) and our packaging knowledge. I'm pretty sure Phoenix CTMS will need more than only one month work so please do not take that topic to literal. We are simply trying to lower the barrier for newcomers to enter the project and be inviting for questions that a newcomer might consider "to simple" and to reduce the shyness to ask. Its about leading you kindly into the Debian Med team giving you access to the repository and make you comfortable with some packaging rules inside the team. So if one team member of the Phoenix CTMS authors would like to join the Debian Med team we will be happy to guide that effort, also by contributing packaging code and explaining the packaging rules. What do you think about this? Kind regards Andreas. [1] https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMed/MoM -- http://fam-tille.de
