you could download it / package it and send it into the multi/universe people and then they will update the repos

although im not sure myself on how to pack a .deb

0.88.6 is the latest stable version, but you could also do .90rc3

Actually if you send it to be included in the repos, I'm pretty sure they'd like to be pointed to the source. It's not good policy to accept packages from just anyone, they package it themselves, I think.

But putting up a package would probably be useful for users who just want it. Asking the owners of www.getdeb.net to put it up would be good too...they have some really great software picks on there. Especially stuff that's hard to find otherwise.

Yeah. Someone suggested that you make the packages and send them in, and I was saying that they probably don't accept packages.

Well, when you package something properly (not checkinstall) then you end up with certain files that you can use. There's the *.orig.tar.gz which has the original source, and then there are dsc files and such that include the changes that you can apply to recreate how the source folder was before you used "debuild" or whatever command to build the package.

For info on building packages, read the ubuntu yelp pages on your system on it, and checkout http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ which is the Debian New Maintainer's Guide.

Yea... I'm not able to package it... I don't know why, if you would like for the MOTU to package it, add it to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/Candidates

It's more for those times when you have to send files to windows people. good practice to scan them.

Yes, although quite rare, viruses for linux are possible, but there haven't been that many.
