Hmm, sad. I understand the reasoning, and I've been super busy at work, and missed both the original email and this final one. Ean had to poke me about it. The debian folder *does* function, and will produce proper debian-policy-compliant debs. The only reason you don't see it uploaded to debian.org(I am also a debian developer, or used to be), is that ofbiz embeds outside libraries in side it, and that is not allowed for an upload to debian main. I'd like to keep this around, but I also understand the desire to keep ofbiz upstream clean. Here are my thoughts, based on a discussion Ean and I *just* had here at work. 1: Create a fork of ofbiz on github. Git is much better for distributed development. 2: Re-add this debian folder from the attic. 3: Import any changes I might have locally. This should be small, as I was mostly upstream(I need to check a few older branches). 3: Announce this branch as the location for debian development. *Only* changes to make debian integration should be placed here. 4: Start filing issue trees in jira for pure upstream work. This would include things like removing embedded libraries(maybe a post-download kinda thing).
