I'm still trying to get my head around the correct way to configure a typical source tarball installation to fit into the Debian way of doing things.
It would probably be wise to start by reading this: http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ and then perhaps http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/336 and http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/337 should give you a flavour. Out of interest, what is the package you're recompiling? Have you tried looking at backports.org to see if it has already been backported? Cheers, Dave -- David Reynolds david@reynoldsfamily.org.uk
