There is a nice little GNOME applet called gnome-tla (terminal launcher applet) which reads the list of gnome-terminal profiles you have and the applet has a pull down menu allowing you to launch a specific profile easily. Great for working with remote systems, if you tell the profile to launch the command "ssh <host>"
Anyway, the .deb for it it worked in Dapper, but the dependency package names changed in Edgy, and the old maintainer of the .deb build seems to have disappeared..
So to the point:
I have the source for gnome-tla. It's written in python.
The latest version of the source is 0.7
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=170654
How can I build a .deb from this? there is a debian/ folder in the source, with a control file. The tutorials I've tried to follow don't work, saying it needed DEBIAN, and then that the project name was missing in the control file.
Can anyone either a) build a .deb and give it to the developer, or b) help me build the .deb.
Thanks!
