hi ruben,

all the best for the new year as well!

i just updated the wiki on how to prepare the development environment here:
http://openthinclient.org/tiki-index.php?page_ref_id=16

it covers now the preparation of the package directory and adding a new package 
URL to the openthinclient server. soon there will be additional information 
about creating new application packages. for now the following additional steps 
should be sufficient for you to make your package(s) available to the 
openthinclient server/manager/OS:

as described on the above wiki page:
- install a web server
- prepare package directory
- add new package URL to the openthinclient server sources.list

and in addition:
- change directory to your generated *.deb files and execute the following 
commands as root:

PACKAGE_DIR=/var/www/openthinclient/manager-contrib
cp *.deb *.changelog "$PACKAGE_DIR"
dpkg-scanpackages "$PACKAGE_DIR" /dev/null | gzip > "$PACKAGE_DIR/Packages.gz"

- rebuild the package databases via the openthinclient manager:
select "reload" at the "package management" node

this should do the trick and your new package should by listed in "Installable 
packages"


best regards,
martin
