Well, for new upstream releases, it doesn't take very long if you don't run into any trouble. For me, the biggest overhead is building the package. Feel free to drop in to #ubuntu-motu or #xubuntu-devel and/or visit

Hi Everyone,<br><br> Xfce 4.4.2 is going to be released in a few days and this would be a great opportunity for people who are interested in getting involved with Xubuntu development to jump in by assisting in packaging the new upstream releases. If you're interested, #ubuntu-motu and #xubuntu-devel are the places to hang. See
<a href="http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU</a> for more information on packaging.</blockquote></span><div><br>Quick question - how long does packaging a single package take? I'm mostly put off by the amount of time it seems to take and the variety of methods available.
