Hi Antonio,

I'm a bit short of time at the moment but you are welcome very to
packman. I think you are on the mailinglist?

Well most time people are speaking german there... you were the
first english speaking "PackMan" then.

I can create an account for you but there are some rules how to
publish packages. Some data about them must be hacked into a
database and the packages will have to fulfill some requirements in
the spec file. Please discuss these "issues" with the people on the
ML.

When you think you want to adapt you packages to be "PackMan-able"
then please contact again (PM) and ask me to create an account for
you.

I think changes to your spec files will not be too big.

Please be aware that packages should not be uploaded only once and
then never be touched again but need a little care from the maintainer 
regarding updates, bugfixes in packages etc..


Regards
-Marc
