Yes, you could help ... go to the Debian web site and read up on packaging. In brief, the process involves creating a debian subdirectory in the package source tree that contains files that describe the packaging process. Then the dpkg-buildpackage command is used to generate the source and binary package files. While alien could be used, we'd need to test the output carefully. Debian has good support for typical actions by packages on installation, such as adding cron or init.d entries. -- James Cameron mailto:quozl at us.netrek.org http://quozl.netrek.org/
