.deb packages?

Trans

I'm wondering about the procedure of submitring .deb packages. How is
it done. Do you have to be a "certified" debian developer? Is there
anyone on this list who is a debian developer who does any kind of
package maintance?

I now have .debs for a couple of my projects, so that's why I'm asking.

Thanks,
T.

Have a look at 'joining Debian'

http://www.debian....

Of course Debian isn't the only group that uses .deb's... you could look
at the relevant documentation on the Ubuntu site to see if they'd accept
your packages.

Thanks. I'll look into it.

Although I was hoping that someone else who's already a debian
maintatiner might act as a sort of clearinghouse for other Ruby
developers to submit their .deb packages.

You might send email to a few of the guys who maintain Ruby packages, then.

I simply don't have time, and I'm probably a bit too new to Ruby to
judge whether a package is both right for Debian, and right for Ruby.
