Hi, Josh.

I followed OMERO Unix/Linux installation walk-through, and I think it is 
worth packaging OMERO to simplify the installation process. However, I 
also think it would be good to use Bio-Linux as a platform for OMERO.

I have a more pragmatic short-term view about packaging OMERO than 
Andreas, but he is right about identifying what is and is not GPL in 
your distribution. I understand that OMERO is developed under GPL, so 
you will need to identify dependencies with non-GPL licences anyway.

I tried the ant 'clean' target in your build file, but I wonder if it is 
possible to do the equivalent of "make dist-clean' in the source 
directory to create pristine 'upstream' sources for Debian packaging?

Thanks,

   Tony.
