Oh. right. I had asked about that last year. Vorlon, i think it was, said something like "packaging web aps is fraught with peril". So I let it go then. What packaging skills I had are very rusty, so I'm not sure I know what he meant. But, in principle, I agree if it can be done that it would be worthwhile to have summit and all the dependencies packaged in debian. I would even like to work on that. But, probably not right now given our more pressing needs. It's something to file a bug about, perhaps. ;) > > Martin attempted to start a discussion[1] about a general solution for > > all of DebConf to replace rt. But, it didn't progress, yet.

I'm only sorry I didn't get to it sooner.
