You do not need pbuilder for your purposes, not even chroots. What you need is to *create* Debian source package using upstream sources. Read more at http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ Then, you could build and install the binary package you wanted in your own clean and stable Debian environment. After that, you can safely remove all build dependencies. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
