I would like to run AIDE, but it is only available in Woody or Sid and not Potato which I am running. I know Tripwire is available in Potato but I would prefer to use the "free" option of AIDE.
My question is: How would I go about compiling AIDE from source and make it into a .deb package with a revision number less that that in Woody? So that when Woody becomes stable and I do a dist-upgrade, it will be taken care of and replaced by the Woody version? I want it to leave nothing remaining on my computer (apart from the tarball and extracted directory I used to make it) after upgrading to Woody. Can someone outline the steps involved? Thanks Mark.
