Hi, I'm attaching my packaging draft (as requested in your other email).

If you like, I can also upload the repo that I already have with my packaging draft and you clone it and add yourself as package maintainer. > I think that by the end of this week I could upload a first and > reasonabily good version of the package to alioth. That sounds perfect! If you need a sponsor for the upload I'd be available for that -- just let me know. Michael -- Michael Hanke http://mih.voxindeserto.de
