Thanks, Fungi and Nico. At first moment, I just want package for personal/professional use. I am working in a project that involves localizing/packaging the LBAdmin software.
In the future, when packaging basics are familiar for me, I would like properly package software for inclusion into Debian, a more complicated job. And, may be, adopt other packages. Then, I will subscribe to the debian-mentors mailing list. Helps a lot. Thank you very much, John. 2007/4/18, The Fungi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

If the latter is your goal, subscribing to the debian-mentors mailing list to ask questions (after first searching through the list archives for your answer) is highly recommended. Also, there's much fine documentation to this end available from: http://mentors.debian.net/ Hope that helps! -- { IRL(Jeremy_Stanley); PGP(9E8DFF2E4F5995F8FEADDC5829ABF7441FB84657); SMTP( [EMAIL PROTECTED]); IRC([EMAIL PROTECTED]); ICQ(114362511); AIM(dreadazathoth); YAHOO(crawlingchaoslabs); FINGER([EMAIL PROTECTED]); MUD( [EMAIL PROTECTED]:6669); WWW(http://fungi.yuggoth.org/); }
