No, it does not have a homepage on the Internet. It probably should - even just a bare webpage describing the program and somewhere to download it. > I have no > experience in setting up servers or webpages. There are numerous sites that can provide what you need without doing the configuration yourself. SourceForge and Alioth are two examples (although alioth is hosted by Debian it is not just for Debian packages or Debian packaging and it is easier and faster to setup than SF). > No, I have not submitted a > "request for package".

An ITP is a basic part of getting a package into Debian - it is particularly important for sponsorship. An ITP and an RFS together need to cover all the information a sponsor would need in order to review the package. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
