That's nice (way nicer than installing in /usr/local)! Just make sure you use different version numbers than Debian/Ubuntu so that it's clear that these packages are not official. > however, i really don't have any packaging experiance to speak of. i've > been looing around at guide but thus far havn't gotten very far.
