Cool, thanks for checking. :-)

Yes, that would be very welcome.  I don't know any perl, so while I can
understand most of it, I can't really fix anything if I'd need to.

Yes, that sounds very useful.  I currenly have two packages which would
belong there: arduino-mighty-1284p, for supporting the melzi board, and
the new Cura (which will actually be two packages, -engine and -gui).

I previously looked at Repsnapper, but someone else eventually packaged
it; it should be part of this as well, I think.

I've also written a print server and am in the process of writing new
firmware.  Once done, they should be packaged as well, of course.

As for the structure, I'd prefer to use git for our repositories.  Is
that ok with you?

Thanks,
Bas
