I think you are missing my point. :) I know how to build software and packages. My question was not 'how do i install SAPDB on Debian'. As a Debian user and Free Software Developer I think it is important to offer SAP-DB in the Debian Distribution so that users wishing to maintian a cohesive system with strong packaging can have that luxury. A while back I offerred to make Debian packages and someone said they were working on them, I was hoping that person would respond so that I could lend them a hand or finish what they started. If I dont hear back from this list I will assume no one is actively working on this. I will then look to create the packages and have them uploaded to unstable. In which is anyone here willing to test? Mark, you guys are running SAP-DB on Debian on the OSDL machines correct?
