Unfortunately I could not find a copy of Jakson's files on my machines.
Anyways, I checked in some initial files for packaging swarm. It should be somewhat straightforward as swarm uses GNU autotools. However, it is not building with a basic rules file. The error is complaining that it cannot find the "configure" file, but it is definitely there in source tarball.
Can somebody give it a try? The build process isn't giving me any useful hints about the problem.
thanks
Scott
