Hi,

I have added a "deb" target to the ust and lttv make files, to
enable build of debian packages, I also did some minor changes to
the documentation - NB! not the contents, only to enable deb install
of the manual as info pages.

This is something that I did only for our own convenience, (i.e. the
debian control files needs more work before these patches can be
made public) we are using pbuilder to create boot images for
different targets and then it's neat to have everything installable
>from deb packets.
Is this something that may be of interest? I'd be happy to mail the
patches. Or is the intention to keep the packaging separate from the
source tree?
Hi again, sorry! I was interrupted.

Hi Kerstin, thanks for your interest! I'm more than happy to
collaborate on the debian packaging.

I much prefer to keep the debian packaging development separate from
upstream development. The git repositories for this are hosted at
http://git.debian.org/ Ust and liburcu are available in Debian
unstable and testing, but if you need packages for lenny, let me
know. I should be able to backport them with little effort.
We are using testing and unstable but the problem we wanted to solve
was to have a simple way of including our own modifications to UST
into the boot images we create for the target machines. LTTV, however,
is a different matter, we will not do any modifications to lttv and
then it's very nice to be able to download the package directly. But
still, testing and unstable is just what we're looking for.
The patches look quite good. With the exception of your manual/info page
modifications, the official packages should already include the changes
you've made. The debian repository for this work is found at [1].

I'll look into the info page changes and try to get something included
that works for you. Was there a specific reason for renaming the
manual.texinfo file?
Only that the automake target for some reason refused to build when
using the old name and I gave up trying to understand why, I'm not
on best terms with these modern automagic tools yet;D

ltt-control is nearly done, I have a manpage or two to write and it will
be ready for upload. I can push a snapshot of this effort to a git
repository if you're interested.
We most certainly are:D
I've uploaded ltt-control and it's currently waiting in the NEW queue
for review [2]. I've also pushed a snapshot of the packaging work to [3]
if you're interested.

Ok. thanks!
