If you google for "debian packaging tutorial", you will find plenty of material. E.g.: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/336 http://www.debian-administration.org/article/Rolling_your_own_Debian_packages_part_2 And, of course the Maintainers Guide is the primary source of information: http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ Once you have crafted your debian/ folder with all files, and it is Lintian error free, it is time to ask for a 'sponsor'... make sure to discuss you efforts as soon as possible, and preferably share the files of your debian/ folder publically, such as the debian-science SVN...: http://svn.debian.org/ Browse any section for examples: http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/debian-science/ Because Jmol is written in Java, you should also have a look at some debian/ folders for other Java software: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-java and check the Debian Java wiki: http://wiki.debian.org/Java I'll be available for Jmol building questions, but do not have time to make a package for it...
