Hey, ...
Hello, ...
count me in on this project, it has been a long time that i wanted to do
something like that, but addn't had time for it...
there is already an earlier version of dpkg, and other debian stuff, that was
compiled using the GeekGadget stuff (formerly ADE, found at www.ninemoons.com)
My first idea was to reuse stuff from GG, and repackage the basic stuff from
them in some kind of debian setup, using dpkg. Once that is done, the rest
should be easy, or at least done incrementaly, package by package ...
Friendly,
Sven LUTHER
