I have a question reguarding the debian process. I don't mind compiling packages on my own, but since I like using, and keeping my system up to date, using apt/deselect, I don't want to get away from that. So, if I compile some of the packages on my own, will that be recognized by apt/dselect? In other words if I complie php4 manually, then later on I use dselect to add a package that requires php4, will apt/dselect recognize that I already have it installed. Then lets say php4 is upgraded, will I be able to use apt/dselect to upgrade it even thouge the previous install was manually compiled.
