[Ubuntu] Introduction: Steve Geopublisher

[Alan Boudreault]

Hi Steve,

Glad to see you interest to put your software in UbuntuGIS. Personnally, I 
have no experience yet in packaging JAVA softwares. I don't really know how 
they handle their dependencies (In some special cases). I suppose that could 
be easily understood by looking an existing java package.

Like all new debian packager, the best think to do is to read the new 
maintainers' guide: http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ , and looking a few 
existing packages. In your case, the java packages. I think there are already 
some Java GIS packages in debian-gis, could be a good place to start.
 
Regards,
Alan
