Comment 2 for bug 271204

I have not done packaging before, but are interested.
Blowed if I know where the definitive information is.
It's Ok finding out stuff, it's another thing finding out that you didn't find out "enough".

So I am interested to know how to do it, and how you get on here.

I don't know how much you know already, but starters might be ;

Ubuntu Development
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment#Working%20with%20Ubuntu%20Packages

and

The Ubuntu packaging Guide
https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/index.html

This project is probably relatively easy as it uses php and java, which are both cross platform languages.
