Greg:

Sorry, I am still, in many ways a Debian newbie. There must be some process
whereby Sword front-ends and the back-end (e.g., libsword-utils) get into
the packages. I have read somewhat on "package maintainers" and understand
that they can be developers of the package they maintain. Is that correct,
or do I recall falsely?


You do understand correctly. However, I am not aware of any doubt end
developers who are active in package maintenance in Debian or Ubuntu. It's
a very different skill set. I'm not even aware of any who use those distros
as their main system.

You'll need to contact someone with those skills and the approval necessary
to create those packages.

--Greg


The audience of my request was the front-end developers and the utilities
developers. Am I missing something here? I would appreciate some help if so.

Many thanks.

Tom

---------------------
Great News!
God created you, owns you and gave you commands to obey.
You have disobeyed God - as your conscience very well attests to you.
God's holiness and justice compel Him to punish you in Hell.
Jesus Christ became Man, was crucified, buried and rose from the dead
as a substitute for all who trust in Him, redeeming them from Hell.
If you repent (turn from your sin) and believe (trust) in Jesus Christ,
you will go to Heaven. Otherwise you will go to Hell.
Warning! Good works are a result, not cause, of saving trust.
