Is there an official repository for the drbl/clonezilla source in a tarball format? I can only seem to find source RPMs. I would like to build a clean deb for ubuntu that's not a product of alien.

Cool.
Actually the tarball is in the source RPMS, and you can use "rpm2cpio -idmv *.src.rpm" to extract that. Sorry for the inconvenience, and we will try to have the tarballs ready first, since it's not ready for dpkg-buildpackage.
The debian deb will be ready later in this year, and if you already have the debian rules about making debs of drbl, clonezilla.., please share that with us.

Something I have to mentioned first are:
1. Some commands are done when we create the rpm from tarball, so we
will use autotools in the tarball in the future. For the time being,
some of the file path are done in rpm sepc file, therefore in the future
the autotools is a must and the path must be also configurable.
2. We have to follow Debian's FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard) in the
future, so now all the commands in /opt/drbl have to be moved in the
future.
and more and more...
Among them, these tarballs are created or patched by DRBL/Clonezilla team:
1. drbl
2. clonezilla
3. mkpxeinitrd-net
4. chntpw
5. partimage (Before 0.6.6, it's patched. After 0.6.6 (now in unstable),
the patched function is already included in the official release from
partimage.org)
The rests are:
etherboot, lzop, ntfsprogs and udpcast
They are identical to the one in the official release from their own
project. We just renamed them (since not all the distributions include
them and we have to avoid confusion) and put them in /opt/drbl/.
Thanks for your efforts in advance.
Regards,
Steven.

Thanks for the tarballs. I worked through the drbl and clonezilla code today. I'll have to spend some more time building and using it to decide what needs to be included and where it should go. There's also a number licensing issues to clear up in the scripts. Most of them seem small and there's a number of difference languages at play. It may be easier to rewrite those portions into whatever language the script that calls them is in.

I put the tarballs here:
