I have a similar situation - my package that I hope will allow me to become a new DD depends on changes I've made to an existing library and I need to assist in packaging that to get my own package built. So take a leaf from that book and find a library that you perhaps already know or use - most programs use more than one library and you've probably got some that you need which already exist in Debian. Download the source of the library and take a look at the debian files. Alternatively, you can build the library into your own package but that may not be suitable. > So i would like to build one, but in the documentation i don't see > anything.

The new developer documentation concentrates on executables as it deems libraries unsuitable for new developers. > SO I'm looking forward for web pages to help me. Probably someone to help you, actually. See if you can get a sponsor for the library (have you done an ITP for the library?), see if there is an existing maintainer who might help you. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
