I just encourage you to package just the stuff you are using in your hospital (if it is free). We need things from practice and probably I did not realize some aspects which are important for health care.

I also have access to a sparc machine for compiling issues, but it is not necessary to do so. Debian provides auto-compilers (at least for the official Debian distribution = main. The non-free stuff is not autobuilded - topic of former flamewars :-) ...). But for testing purpose it is nice to have such a machine ... > Problems for me will be that I haven't packaged anything for debian > before.

I see no real advantage of other bug trackers over the Debian BTS. But your opinion may be considered. Just explain the advantages and we could think about it. > Well I am off to learn a little about some of these programs we > currently have. Maybe I can even try to package one. I'm sure we'll find sponsors for your packages if they will be finished. Feel free to ask questions for packaging here. > Nice to see this project coming together, :) Kind regards Andreas.
