Re: adding a new package

[Alex Berson <aleks.berson@gmail.com>]

Yes, it was already packaged, but i fixed it  to make it full lintian compliant: licence reference was missing. 
I asked the developer to patch the upstream, he will apply the suggested fixes within this weekend 


Also I suspect build-depends list is  overcrowded, but it passed the pbuilder packaging process.
Thanks,
   Alex

It appears upstream already did some packaging. At least there is a debian/ dir
in the tarball. I take it this packing was not done by you, right? But anyway
this could be a good starting point, although I haven't looked into it yet.

If this really works as it is supposed to do I'm willing to sponsor you.
