Re: [be] BE 3.4 is packaged

[Dennis Drescher]

Hi Doug,

I agree, this package needs to get pushed up to the Debian repo. But, 
like you, I don't really have the know-how either. I was just barely 
able to get it packaged and that was with a lot of help from Martin 
Hosken. He's the one who pushed it up to the SIL repo for me. Hopefully, 
in time, I'll be able to get a procedure down to where I can package and 
get it on the SIL repo. But I doubt that I'll ever obtain the status it 
takes to get enter the holy of holies. Hopefully Daniel will be our 
priest. ;-)

In Him,

Dennis
