You are likely to find someone here who will be sponsoring your package. Allow me just express a few thoughts on your debianization: - the debian/rules file contains debhelper calls that are commented out and be safely be removed - there are also debhelper calls that you don't need (like (dh_installexamples or dh_link). You may want to read what each debhelper script basically does (there are good manpages for each one). But what's more important. The build failed here: # Add here commands to configure the package. CFLAGS="-Wall -O2 -Wl,-z,defs" ./configure --host=i486-linux-gnu --build=i486-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --mandir=\${prefix}/share/man --infodir=\${prefix}/share/info configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in config ./config make: *** [config.status] Error 1 Could you take a look at that? If it works on your development system please try it through "pbuilder".
