Thanks for that. One thing that I'm particularly unclear on is the versions / distributions. I can't submit a debian package that says 'precise' on it... so what do I say instead, 'sid'? or just 'unstable'? Also, are the package names consistent between ubuntu and debian? Can I take a package that works on ubuntu and be confident that all I have to do is rename 'precise' to something else, and it'll be a first class debian package with no broken dependencies? And then later on, when ubuntu picks it up from debian, will somebody (me?) have to convert it back to 'precise' or 'quantal' or whatever? Or will it just work as-is? -- http://gottengeography.ca -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
