much of the work has already been done by hansi, this is his most recent
message:

hello!

get the file
http://www.chiefmag.com/processing/repository.zip

extract it directly in processing.orgs root folder, it should create the
folder processing.org/repository/debian/...

now you can add
deb http://processing.org/repository/debian processing main
at the end of your /etc/apt/sources.list file and then execute
apt-get update
apt-get install processing

things to be discussed:

• The changelist is not included because it has to be a
  standardized format (see
  http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-dreq.en.html#s-changelog)
  and it would be a lot of work each time to make it suitable
• I've created a new launch file (/usr/bin/processing when installed)
  It checks if jdk 5/6 is installed, but also creates the folder
  ~/processing/ folder if it doesn't exist yet.
• maybe there's more.
• I have only tested in ubuntu yet, but it should work on any
  debian based system cause i haven't used any ubuntu specific
  things.

if that works i could send you the files required to create the debian
package and the files to create the repository indexes.

best, hansi.
