Help with .deb Packages - and potential inclusion in Ubuntu

[bsoft]

Right now, there are really only two hurdles that prevent the inclusion of GTKWifi into the base Ubuntu distro:

- Currently, the "python2.4-gnome2-extras" package, which is required to install GTKWifi, is not a part of the base distro (it's in the "universe" repository, I believe).

- Currently, there is no .deb package for GTKWifi

I'm not too familiar with .deb packaging, or how to submit software for inclusion into Ubuntu. If someone could give me the details of what I need to do, it would be great.

Thanks,

To be honest, I seriously doubt whether it will be included in the default install. For breezy, they are going for Network Manager, which does all that GTKWifi does -http://people.redhat.com/dcbw/NetworkManager/

That being said, bring it the attention of the MOTU people on #ubuntu-motu and I am certain someone will help you with deb packaging.

Cheers,
