Arif, I created the folder https://sourceforge.net/projects/xcat/files/ubuntu/devel/ in the file mgr and uploaded the xcat-core ubuntu tarball, and i created https://sourceforge.net/projects/xcat/files/ubuntu/xcat-dep/ and put the xcat-dep tarball there.
To create the online repositories, do i just put the unpacked version of the tarball on sourceforge? I tried making the local repo to test it on my ubuntu machine, but i'm running oneiric and it looks like maverick is the only one in the tarball. Can you add oneiric? How can i do it myself? Also, i'd like to have the documentation reflect what works and what doesn't. Should we be working with https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=UbuntuHowto or https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=DebianHowto ? It seems like the 1st one is more complete, so would be a better starting point? We have a few people that would like to help with the xcat ubuntu effort, so i'd like to figure out what would be most helpful for them to work on. Thx.

We should establish both an online repository and downloadable tarballs of the deb pkgs. Let me know when you want to work on that.

How about documentation? We'll have that once I have something stable I will need to merge the 2 pieces of documentation already on the wiki (mine, and the IBM teams doc), to something a bit better.
