Hi everyone,
today I stumbled in this page (in portuguese) in the internet while looking for a way to make a deb package for GoogleEarth.
To resume, it explains how to make a deb package for GoogleEarth in Debian distro.
Well, I tried it to see if it worked in Ubuntu. Of course I didn't add the debian repository. Instead I've downloaded the deb package and installed it. The I typed "make-googleearth-package" (no sudo) and it made a deb package of GoogleEarth after it downloaded it automaticaly! No redistribution! After it's only a "sudo dpkg -i" and that's it.
How I did it for GoogleEarth:
I've searched a little further in http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages and found another deb to make the latest flashplugin-nonfree on a deb file.
Here it is for flashplugin-nonfree:
Here is a more debian way to install those programs that still aren't in the repos (and may never be)!
I think that those packages should be made available in Ubuntu repos.
Worked on Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft.
