Though you will (eventually) have to do the building in a sid chroot. Here you might want to use e.g. pbuilder, cowbuilder, sbuild or one of the other "chroot"-providing packages. However, please do note that netbeans have been reported to fail to build from source (see #713182). So there may be a bit of work in getting it the package to build. To my knowledege, we need some other packages updated before the new version of netbeans can be packaged[1]. ~Niels [1] See <52362fc9.3080...@rossfamily.co.uk> That is: https://lists.debian.org/<52362fc9.3080...@rossfamily.co.uk> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
