Assuming by "Debian sources" you mean something from "apt-get source <packagename>", cd'ing into the directory created by the "apt-get source.." and then executing "debuild" ( from the devscripts package) will build the deb(s). Ignore the GPG errors; you can't sign the package since you're not the maintainer, but it will still be created. -- Ryan Schultz -> floating point exception: divide by cucumber
