Tell me if I'm wrong. Take a look at other packages that depend on xulrunner: $ apt-cache rdepends xulrunner-1.9.2 xulrunner-1.9.2 Reverse Depends: mozplugger xulrunner-dev xulrunner-1.9.2-dbg libmozjs3d iceweasel |conkeror zekr mozzemberek mozplugger |conkeror Seems like conkeror and zekr are good example packages, from a super quick first glance. Good luck! Keep us posted. -- Asheesh. -- You will live to see your grandchildren. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Create package for XUL-based app
Hi. I want to package a XUL-based application which isn't in Debian Repository yet.
