I need help with creating source packages (but with a twist). Heres the
situation.
I want to create i686 replacement packages for my machine. So, using
gnomeicu as an example, here's what I did:
apt-get source -d gnomeicu
dpkg-source -x gnomeicu...dsc
cd gnomeicu
Now, the standard way to build a package is to do "debian/rules build"
at this point. However, to create the optimized packages, I did the
following:
cd debian
vi rules
(add -O2 and -march=i686 to the $(MAKE) line)
Then I did the debian/rules build.
Heres the problem. They build and install fine. However, on the next
apt-get dist-upgrade, the packages are overwritten with the standard
ones! I put "export CFLAGS='-O2 -march=i686'" into my .bash_profile, but
the rules build seems to ignore it (hence me editing that script).
HELP!!!
