Ok, folks, I have taken a stab at making a debian package and I will admit that I cheated a bit :) I have been using the XF-Mail GUI email package and really like it. I like it so much that I wanted to share it so I grabbed the .rpm and built a .deb from it. You are actually going to need to packages and I have placed them both on an FTP site for you to grab. Here are the instructions: ftp://corsica.shorelink.com/pub/debian and grab the xforms_0.86-2_i386.deb and xfmail_1.1-6_i386.deb packages. Install the xforms package first then then xfmail package. I have the Debian xforms0 package installed and the installation of the new pages along side of it has not seemed to break anything on MY system but if it breaks something on your system you should be able to back everything out using this procedure: dpkg --purge xforms dpkg --purge xfmail dpkg --purge xforms0 Then reinstall the old xforms0 using dselect or manually. It looks like the new package overwrites parts of the old xforms0 package and points the symlink to the newer libforms.so.0.86. As I said, so far, this has not broken anything on my system and I have a great new email program (supports POP3, IMAP, SMTP, POP3 mail transmitting, sorting of incoming mail, PGP, etc). I created the packages by doing an alien -g package name then a debian/rules on each package and finally a dpkg-buildpackage on each one. Seemed to work ok. email package and really like it. I like it so much that I wanted to share it so I grabbed the .rpm and built a .deb from it.
