Developers, Has there been any recent progress (since March) on a Koha debian package, as detailed here: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=debian_packaging_work. I know that one of the blockers, MARC::File::XML 0.88, has changed (now that we’re at v.0.91), so does that make the job easier? Similarly, as Senthil mentioned in the early email below, there is a CPAN package for all the Perl pre-reqs for Koha. Is that being maintained? Could it be turned into a debian package, and linked as a prereq for the Koha .deb? I bring this up because I've been looking into creating a Turnkey Linux (http://turnkeylinux.org) appliance for Koha (as wizzyrea brought up in IRC last month), and what looks like the easiest (and possibly only) way to add software to their Core is to have debian packages to include. It sure would be nice to make it as easy as possible for people to install Koha, especially non-systems people. I'd be happy to put some effort towards making this all happen; I just need to know what the current state of affairs is, and perhaps get a pointer to some resources for creating and submitting debian packages. Thanks!

I came to know about it only recently and it seems to be a better alternative than installing too many CPAN modules by hand. The fact that it has not been updated for a long time is the reason for my doubt.
