My request was not about building any specific package for distro x,y,z
My request was about creating a general CLI interface to perform system
backup/import/install/manageUsers. Based on that, system integrators can
build their Debian/RedHat/Suse/CentOS/Window/OSx package.
If anybody volunteers directly now to build a .deb or Ubuntu Package and
bring it into the official tree of that distro => Very nice, however what I
think we should provide as openmeetings team is a very easy way / an
extension point where potential volunteers can start with.
