Yes, packages targeted for Debian should be built with the latest available packages from ‘unstable’ at the time the package is built. > How should I do it?

Search the ‘debian-mentors’ list archives. You're welcome to later ask questions here that aren't answered satisfactorily in the documentation or list archives. > I've also just setup a apt-cacher local mirror Note that ‘apt-cacher’ runs a caching proxy, not a mirror. > should I do anything with it when setting up a building environment? So long as your system can install anything from the latest Debian ‘unstable’, you shouldn't need to change your proxy to work with ‘pbuilder’. -- \ “A man must consider what a rich realm he abdicates when he | `\ becomes a conformist.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson | _o__) | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
