Hey, I find that on the occasion a package or library that I need becomes outdated. Lately, I've begun to install those packages from source, but that tends to be a bad solution, because then I can't install any packages that are dependant on the program i just compiled. Anyway, I was thinking about what I could do about this, and I came up w/ an idea that I thought i would run by you guys, to see if anyone knew if this would/would not work.
I was thinking I would get the latest sources for the package (take the SDL for example), and then make a debian package out of it named libsd1.2. After i install this w/ dpkg, will I be able to install the games/libs/etc that depend on the SDL?
