Actually, a Debian package was already prepared by Sean Champ [1] and it works well.
This is very nice indeed !!!
Sean (if you're reading) can you point out how we should go forwards? I'm a Debian user but highly ignorant of the internals. I'm assuming the next thing to do is integrate the debian'ization into CVS so that we can 'make deb' or similar from a regular SLIME checkout?
Actaully, if the Debian folder is going to be integrated into the CVS, you don't need to use a 'make deb' instruction, but just a "normal" 'dpkg-buildpackage'.
OTOH, if CVS sources can produce Debian native packages (which means that they have a debian/ folder), you can use other Debian tools like 'cvs-buildpackage' ('apt-cache show cvs-buildpackage' or [1]).
Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
PS, Sean, if you still need help to make your package enter Debian, please contact me in private, I'm in the process of being sponsored for another package (cl-s-xml [2]), so I can give you some hints ;-)
