Geoff, I almost have a working version of the latest Rivendell with Debian Jessie. There was some issues with Ubuntu and Rivendell that Wayne Merrick was addressing, so I am going with Debian. It seems to be easier to setup. I am using the gnome interface, but like Mate better as well, so I might switch to that. Would you like to tackle the packaging of Rivendell for the distro? I'm going to try to figure out how to do it, but it will be a new experience for me. I have reached out to Frederick Henderson, to see if he would help with some scripting. I haven't heard back from him, but he knows me, so probably will reply eventually. I have no idea if he still has interest in working on the project. As far as packaging goes, it seems to me that a live cd is still preferable for people coming from the Windows world. My goals is get people to experience Rivendell, that might try it, but never can get past the install. A lot of people have interest, but shy away when Linux is even mentioned.
