Hi Rosea, I looked at helping Jaromir package NTK a long time ago, and looked at packaging the non-* applications more recently. KX-Studio have managed to package them. But now that Erich has packaged Raysession in Ubuntu, I am not in so much of a hurry. I think Jonas is right. It is not impossible - it is just difficult. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of spare time to help at the moment either. Maybe it would be worth asking upstream if they would be willing to split out the different applications into different git repositories? It wouldn't be that hard to do. If they are not willing, then we need to decide how to do the packaging. We could: 1. Package directly from the git repository, using a version number that reflects the git commit that was used for the package, build all of the applications (which I think was the default in the build system) and install them into separate binary packages. This would mean the version number doesn't match the different version numbers of the different applications. 2. Separately download each tarball into separate source packages all watching the same repository for new tarballs. 3. Other options??? Here are the tarballs: https://git.tuxfamily.org/non/non.git/ When learning packaging in Debian, I highly recommend using Debian Mentors: https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers On the Mentors mailing list, you will find many kind people willing to help answers those silly beginner questions. You could always have the package(s) reviewed there, and then ask back here for sponsorship.
