Look into apt-src if you are interested in developing this kind of idea. The source-dependency approach has many pitfalls, and is not something that is supported in prime-time Debian right now. If the source is small, it may be acceptable to duplicate it (especially if it must stay in sync with a particular version). In other cases, it makes more sense to have the existing package build multiple flavours. In still other cases, it makes sense to have a -source package and have users build their own. -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
