I am happy to report that I have had successful results both with pbuilder and pdebuild. It took some time for me to figure out the right sequence of commands for each of them. So I wrote up a short "HOWTO" giving the exact commands used from start to finish. They can be found at http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/2007/04/recipe-for-building-texmacs-packages.html http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/2007/04/recipe-for-building-texmacs-package.html They might not be useful if you are already familiar with pbuilder, pdebuild. But I am thinking they might be useful for someone browsing the archives. hth raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
