Some tips: Package dependencies and embedded code copies in separate source packages. Make sure everything is under a free license and has source code present. Make sure prebuilt files are removed from the upstream git repo, tarballs and Debian source packages. Place the package files under /usr/share/zzbulletin. Have upstream write a script that can be used to setup instances of zzbulletin. Optional: use debconf prompts to find out if the sysadmin wants an instance setup and if so, ask for the URLs, filesystem paths, database information and call the script. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
