Re: Idiot's Guide to Debian Packaging
An excellent idea and I like what you have done so far.
My thoughts:
Maybe you could consider using of of the packages you have made as the
example. Then you would simply have to html-ize all the needed config files.
That's all for now. If I wasn't a newbie maintainer myself, I would see if I
could help you out in any way. I will keep up with the page. Thanks for
putting out the effort for this. :^)
