History: DEB Packaging

This page is about packaging Tiki in Debian like GNU/Linux distribution.
The goal is to feet Tiki with the FHS architecture and build a solid debian package which will be accepted by all Debian like distributions( mainly (U|Ku|Edu)buntu and Debian ).

Package 3.3 and 4.1 will be soon in the repository.
