Hi Emmanuel, Mike, I already have packaged kiwix but its having old version. I'm yet to import the new version into repo.
@Mike Please use this [1] to help me co-maintain the package I'm okay for maintaining the package as part of Debian-Edu team I will subscribe to the mailing list by tonight and commit some pending work which is in my local repository to collab-maint which includes patches to include dpkg-buildflags and version released by emannuel as nightly for Debian packaging. I failed to build it because when I tried Xulrunner-11.0 was missing from testing and package was not building against Xulrunner-10.0. I would be happy if you can help in co-maintaining the package. I'm just back from Germany so I need this weekend to start working full time on Kiwix (As I'm on leave form my office next week). Since its already in collab-maint you can help me complete the work more fastly.
