the latest rezzme now contains the necessary code to build debian/ubuntu dpkgs — making it as easy to install rezzme packages on the latest debian/ubuntu systems as it already is for windows and mac OSX machines as the dpkg format allows me to explicitly specify the prerequisites (such as PyQt4).
while working on the dpkg support i also found out that debian/ubuntu has the very useful /etc/firefox-3.0, /etc/firefox-3.5, and /etc/thunderbird directories that allow me to provide package specific javascript to, for example, add a protocol handler for the rezzme: URI scheme. that along with gnome’s gconf tool gives us the same seamless rezzme user experience as on windows or mac OSX — unfortunately, it seems that nothing comparable exists for redhat/fedora based systems.1
also the windows build code has been cleaned up and the no longer required dependency on setuptools removed.

at least i couldn’t find anything comparable; if you know how to do this — independent of minor version upgrades of firefox and thunderbird — i’d appreciate it very much to learn about that. ↩
I saw mention of your Rezzme implementation reading a chat log http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User_Experience_Interest_Group/Transcripts/2010-04-15. I am not a coder but would like to find out in layman’s terms, how to implement this and just how it works. My email is provided with this comment post. Thanks JR

i’m in the progress of creating installers for windows, mac osx, and linux — probably around next week or so.
