</div></div>Heya.<br>
<br>
On your debian system do "apt-get source mercurial" then cd into the<br>
newly created directory, read everything in the debian/ dir to learn<br>
about debian packaging. A few things you would want to read up about<br>
are Debian Policy, man pages of debhelper and associate dh programs,<br>
CDBS html docs and recent updates to python-default policy. That's<br>
pretty much it.<br>
<br>
Also for questions about packaging #debian-mentors and<br>
debian-mentors@l.d.o can help a lot.<br>
<br>
Wiki pages on <a href="http://wiki.debian.org" target="_blank">wiki.debian.org</a> as well.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>Thanks a lot for the response and explaining how to go about. I will<br>go through debian/ directory and the materials you have ment <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Good luck.<br>
