Oh, I don´t feel your message was placed wrongly here. A few days ago, I wanted the same, and made a package myself. For this, I refered to two older posts on this list (snipped): | From: Brian Servis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Subject: Re: tailing rotating log files | Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | The source packages come in .tar.gz, .diff and .dsc.(no diff if it is a | native Debian program) | | The easiest way is to get the apt v 0.3.11 from | http://www.debian.org/~jgg and add the following to your | /etc/apt/sources.list: | | deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free | | Then cd to some directory like /usr/local/src and issue the following | | apt-get update | apt-get --compile source textutils (instead of "textutils", you would of course write "gnupg") The apt v 0.3.11 is for slink at this location. Unfortunately, apt-get failed for me at the update stage (yet unresolved, maybe my proxy), but you should have no problem, I guess. If you prefer doing it by hand (or have problems with the above), read this post: | From: "Gregory T. Norris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Subject: Re: [Q] How to compile a deb source pacjage | Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | 1) Download the source components into the directory of your choice. | There should be either two or three files: *.orig.tar.gz, *.dsc, and | *.diff.gz (not present if it's a "native" Debian package). | | 2) Enter the command "dpkg-source -x <packagename>.dsc". This will | unpack the source into the <packagename> directory, which will be | created. | | 3) Go into the unpacked source directory, and issue the command | "debian/rules build". | | 4) Issue the command "fakeroot debian/rules binary". | Assuming that you | have all of the necessary development packages installed, your | debfile will be created in the parent directory. HTH, Colin PS: I see you are using (p)gnus: how would you conveniently make detached signatures with GnuPG? Mailcrypt v3.5.4 (which already supports GnuPG) doesn´t handle this, only clearsigned ones :-( I don´t want to switch my MUA! -- Colin Marquardt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
