Version v3.2.9 of MakeNL has been released, and the source archives mn329src.zip and makenl-3.2.9.tar.gz have been made available on the Sourceforge site. (I synced what I had for 3.2.7e to the CVS repository and used that as the basis of the release.)
I will have at least the zip file on my system, and will also be working on a Debian package. I'll be updating the web site to reflect this. (Already corrected the link to the CVS repository.)

A couple of write up I found, regarding converting a Debian package from using dpatch to using quilt:
* Example write up of simple conversion of dpatch to quilt -

Oracle completed the acquisition of Sun Microsystems and made available invites an Oracle + Sun Product Strategy Webcast series, including one demonstrating the continued commitment to [office productivity](http://oracle.com.edgesuite.net/ivt/4000/8104/9236/12637/lobby_external_flash_clean_480x360/default.htm).

The bbs user did not get set up properly during the test package installation, with its 'shell' being set to /opt/bin/mbnewusr instead of /opt/mbse/bin/mbnewusr.
Using git-buildpackage isn't working because the configure step for the package isn't getting run properly. So ran "debuild -rfakeroot -ejame@rocasa.org -us -uc -b" . That resulted in a lot of errors but did complete. It also had the following Lintian error:
Lintian errors: command-with-path-in-maintainer-script, on preinst & postinst
Lintian errors: command-with-path-in-maintainer-script, on preinst & postinst
- That says that maintainer scripts shouldn't have that set (policy 6.1)
- su - mbse; was able to run mbsetup but didn't try doing anything yet.
More MBSE BBS package build attempts, using git-buildpackage.
Debian build attempts on ubuntu 9.10 resulted in the following error:
Manually ran the configure script.

Made the GIT repository of my [Hardware Book](http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=hwb) package public by pushing it to [Alioth](http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/Git).
* git push --all alioth
* git push --tags alioth

Started preparation of a new MakeNL release, v3.2.9, which is being taken from v3.2.7e. It is not being released as v3.2.8 because someone hatched out an entirely unofficial v3.2.8 archive so the consensus was to skip that version and go to v3.2.9 for the next official release.
I had created a debian package of v3.2.7e, with the source for that coming from the origianal cvs repository (before that repository went down and we had to move the project to Sourceforge). Still need to verify that the source in that package and the source we now have in the cvs repository as v3.2.7e (and becoming v3.2.9) is the same. (Not counting things like differences in the debian/ directory.)

Initialized a GIT repository for HwB (Hardware Book) Debian packaging at Alioth, using [1] as a reference for doing so. Will push my local repository there after I finish cleaning the local one up.
