Hi,
I slowly started my work of packaging yade into deb packages.
As you probably noticed I put a Plan in Tasks. Most of those tasks are
my duty, but there are some tasks I am unable to do.
Please, look into Task section[1], choose debs, then set filter condition
to: "Assigned User: Unassigned".
I will probably take care about two of them (#2328 and #2341) and I will
provide patches. But other two are for you.

Licences.
=========
Well... Although most of yade have a licence that permit to redistribute
your software freely, but some of used libraries could lead us to legal
trouble. I will read those licences carefully and send you a report.

There is another important issue: one library has a restriction about usage:
only for non-commercial use. What it means?
Companies are unable to use your software.
If any (commercial or non-commercial) organization would like to pay you
for support it would be impossible without violating the licence for library.
Of course, you can buy a licence allowing you to make a money from this
soft. I think, in the long timeframe, it would be better to rid off all
libraries with non-OS licence.

Please, take those issues into consideration.

Packaging.
==========
I would like to set a Maintainer of those yade packages as:
Yade Development Group <yade-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
That means, if packages would be uploaded into Debian official repository,
we will receive all information about the package to the mailing list.
There are reports about accepting new version of packages into repository
and bugreports reported to Debian BTS.

If you don't like this idea we could create another mailing list especially
for Debian issues, but I think it would be some redundant.

That's all about packaging - at least for now :)

Regards
	Artur
