Alec, Thank you very much for making these packages. Ben Withers bought a Fujitsu Lifebook with a Transmeta processor and couldn't get Quackle to work in Windows. Good sport that he is, he wiped the computer clean and put MEPIS on it. I helped him over the phone to get Quackle to compile and we ran into a number of issues, but your .deb worked like a charm. I hope you can help us again when it's time to release 0.93. I've never made package files myself and I don't know anything about them.
Graham, I hope you can get Quackle working on Fedora if that's what you want. I know at least one person has compiled it on Suse. They said they installed distutils, scons, and qt4 and it was very easy after that. Jason and I have done most of our work on Debian and its spinoffs, and we've never had any trouble. If you want to go that route, it's more likely that we can help.
