I don't know how to do that
Can you give me advice ?

I admit if it comprises compiling the package, I'd prefer testing
a package compiled by you. I'm not sure how much time I'll have over 
the week, so testing will be easier to do than compiling.

But if it helps I can give it a try (provided you tell me how to do it)

Regards
Peter
