Sounds great to me. So I guess FreeB would be more or less replace

Change the first instance of "FreeB" to "REMITT" and you're right on.
Thanks - it was a hard day for me today. ;-)
find some time next week. Do you have any URL to the source packages of
the Debian package?
They should be fetchable from the apt.freemedsoftware.com registry.
The source tarballs also have the debian/ source files.
OK. I just downloaded them and will have a look at it.
I guess this is a reasonable decision. I'm perfectly convinced that
you should use Debian stable in a production environment. But if we
talk about development or even reasonable sized test installations
Debian testing is the distribution of choice. I'm running it on
nearly all machines (with the exceptions of servers which are available
from internet.
And it has the nifty installer, which I far prefer to the standard installer.
Well this in fact *is* the standard installer and one mile stone in
gaining world domination. ;-))
Well, somebody has to *ask* for the modules in the way it is described
at the URL above. If the interest in these modules is big enough they
will be moved to the official mirror. Perhaps we just sponsor the packages
you prepared. But this needs more man power than my own.
Let me know what the rest of the Debian folks think ; I'll go along
with whatever they say.
Normally you get an answer if you file RFP bugs.
As I said, asking for these packages (by filing RFP bugs) is the
way to go if you want to reach the goal that you get rid of the
boring job to prepare private packages for certain software. Pointing
people to the work you did in this RFP bug might speed things up.
I have just never gotten around to doing that. I'll have to give it a shot.
Perhaps somebody from the Debian-Med list might step in here to learn
how it works and save your time to continue developing FreeMed and
save my time to care for the packaging stuff ...
Kind regards
Andreas.
PS: I hope it is no problem for you if I foreward this kind of mails
which do not really contain private mails to Debian-Med mailing
list (shamelessly ignoring the netiquette).
