Sorry, I should have been clearer. There are regular howtos on how to build the 4.0.2 packages, both on potato and on unstable, but I haven't seen anything (and admittedly I only checked the Jan and Feb archives) on how to build debs for as-yet-unreleased versions (eg 4.0.99.1 or the CVS trunk), despite a couple of threads in which people expressed interest in it. Anyway, I got past the bison issue - my problem now is to do with certain patches which partially applied (especially 400_alpha_support) and caused the source code to get screwy. I'm now working on a build without that patch, to see if that works... Stuart.
