perfsonar development work

[Antoine Delvaux <>]

I added those notes to the package creation wiki pages at
http://wiki.perfsonar.net/jra1-wiki/index.php/Packaging/Creating_DEB_Package_files
and
http://wiki.perfsonar.net/jra1-wiki/index.php/Packaging/Creating_RPM_Package_files

Let me know if anything remains unclear.

Thanks,

Antoine.
