You can contact me, just like anybody else, if you wish to; but there's no requirement ;) I'm just another folk working on Debian. > > I have taken my best shot at packaging GanttPV for Debian.

First of all, have you seen the two replies sent to your email to the mentors mailing list? You can see your thread at http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.mentors/34499 or in a different view: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.mentors/34499 or all alone: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.mentors/34499 If you are not subscribed to the mailing list then say so when sending your messages, so that people can send you a copy of the message when replying. > > From what I can see, I've had nibbles but no bites.

That's done thanks to the .desktop files and to some other magic trick which I don't remember very well right now. You can start by taking a look at the .desktop files specifications at: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html > > In the mean time I'm trying to get people to try out my deb file.
