I actually did this yesterday, and it's easier than that. $ mkdir ~/makepuppetdeb $ cd ~/makepuppetdeb $ dget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/puppet/puppet_0.24.7-1.dsc $ wget http://reductivelabs.com/downloads/puppet/puppet.0.24.8.tgz (currently broken, but I imagine will be resolved soon) $ dpkg-source -x puppet_0.24.7-1.dsc $ cd puppet-0.24.7/ $ uupdate puppet-0.24.8.tgz $ cd ../puppet-0.24.8 $ dpkg-buildpackage
This will produce: ~/makepuppetdeb/puppet_0.24.8-1_all.deb ~/makepuppetdeb/puppetmaster_0.24.8-1_all.deb On Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 6:04 AM, Eric Gerlach <egerl...@feds.uwaterloo.ca> wrote: > > Kyle, Ryan, > > I'd love it if those instructions made it into the Wiki.
