the tricky part with this kind of application will be to compile/relocate all libs and binaries to e.g. "/opt/vlc". you will need a ubuntu dapper development environment with quite a few additional devel-libs installed to compile the package. the required steps would be: - set up a ubuntu dapper development environment - get the (ubuntu/debianized) source package - install any unmet build dependencies - work on sources (debian/rules, debian/* files etc.) to have prefix /opt/vlc and openthinclient specific rules/files/dirs it's not the easiest package to start with but i might be able to provide you a "starter package" for vlc next week if you want and if there will be some spare time left ;-) but if you are interested: lots of information about building (debian) packages can be found here: http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ > Have you already tried such things?
