Building the program from sources is actually really easy if you distribute that tarball. Anjuta can create this file with "Build->Build Tarball" in the menu. The debian package thing isn't that easy unfortunately. While this is certainly on our todo list it is just very difficult to implement and get right. There is a tutorial to do it manually and it is quite long: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/ Regards, Johannes
