Just a quick update on packaging.
The links above contain very interesting reading, but are mainly appropriate
for developing Ubuntu and derivates of it using tools Ubuntu provides like
launchpad etc. However, PPAs are quite excellent way to provide additional or
alternative packages for Trisquel.
That said, first one needs to learn howto make deb packages. The following
links give information how to get started.
A short guide
http://wiki.debian.org/IntroDebianPackaging
A long guide
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/
There is tons of stuff to read, but it is all good reading and stuff to
learn.
I will keep working on packaging and documenting it, time permitting, since
it is something I definetly want to learn.
