Until today I've contacted them three times and there as been no response except for an acknowledgement of receipt. Therefore I don't think they'd turn out to be more responsive if I came begging for money... Anyway, I have almost finished a revised installer package which (hopefully) makes installation and maintainance much more comfortable than before. When I'm done with that, I might consider building a proper Debian package that they can put on their web site. It seems to me that they just don't care at all about Debian. I really wonder _how_ they build their debs. I mean: A binary package which has a "Build-depends" field - wouldn't dpkg-buildpackage give an error message on this? Thanks, Johannes
