If you need any help to get started with packaging, I'm very willing to
help. I have just been through the entire process, learning how to make
a rpm file, how to get sponsored and all that jazz, so I have it fresh
in memory ;)
Possibly interesting. I've had problems compiling it from source -
perhaps because of configure. I wonder if the Ubuntu pkg actually works,
and if it can be aliened. I'll poke the Canorus people again if they're
not listening. I don't have any experience in large scale work, and my
speciality is Forth. Canorus would exit on attempting save.
