I could perhaps have been clearer if I'd put that question after the next question in that email, because I am focusing on getting KDE installed on a Sid system. So, how about in Sid? Should someone installing KDE on a base Sid system install kdegraphics & kdeutils? If not, any idea when those will be in Sid and ready to install? Is someone working on getting those packages into Sid? Who? .

What about all the other packages ChrisC has mentioned recently? Shouldn't the install line look more like this: "apt-get install kdelibs kdebase kdeadmin kdemultimedia kdenetwork kdepim" [And maybe also include, (if these are now available in Sid) "kdegraphics kdeutils". And, also include, as you suggested, "kdm konsole konqueror kate noatun kcalc frozen-bubble"? (Are none of those included as part of the packages listed on the above apt-get line?)] Which of those (listed on that apt-get line), packages, if any, should not be installed on a base Sid system as of now? Also, how important are kdegraphics, and, especially, kdeutils, to having a functional KDE-Debain system? TIA. __ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!

For make install you need to set DESTDIR='pwd'/debian/PACKAGENAME/usr to install everithing. This is in fact the directory from which the *.deb is build. The trick is, that you get a *tar.gz inside the deb with the correct paths of all files when you run tar from within 'pwd'/debian/PACKAGENAME. When installing the *.deb the tar.gz is extracted within / so all files end up in the directorys you configured with --prefix in the beginning. Does this help a bit?

For one it doesn't game over so you'll be desperately stuck at level 50 trying to beat it. Second you can not set the level to start at so every time you break down, crying that you did not pass 50 and next day get yourself up and try again, you'll have to get through the other 49 level, some of which are quite hard ;-))) *t Tomas Pospisek SourcePole - Linux & Open Source Solutions http://sourcepole.ch Elestastrasse 18, 7310 Bad Ragaz, Switzerland Tel: +41 (81) 330 77 11

There is really no need to start at level 1 again. :-) -- Ciao...
Re: packaging kde-apps
Typically you have: configure --prefix=/usr and make install DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp You may need more than just the --prefix option on configure. You can look in KDE cvs HEAD to see what I have done with arts and kdelibs for examples. It is really nice if you use builddir != srcdir, see arts/kdelibs for an example of that also. I imagine a lot of people don't know about that feature of autotools. Chris BTW - dh_make --custom is not a valid argument afaict, you should probably use dh_make -t.
