You're right, I shall elaborate: Unperish takes care of all the repetitive, mechanical steps of releasing and building a free software project. Starting from files committed to a version control system (Bazaar, Subversion), it can create the upstream tarball (foo-1.2.tar.gz) and the Debian source package (.orig.tar.gz, .dsc, .diff.gz), then build the binary package using pbuilder, check the result with lintian, linda, and piuparts, and put the results in an apt repository using reprepro (assuming everything is OK). Further, it is built around a plugin architecture, making automation of further steps easy. Does that sound like a better description? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
