-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I managed to my own question in the end regarding DESTDIR, thanks to the following post on the list http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2011/03/msg00127.html
So I have updated the vpcs package on mentors, to use this new information. I have also fixed the items pointed out to me by Juhani. As usual the package is on: http://mentors.debian.net/package/vpcs Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/v/vpcs/vpcs_0.5b0-1.dsc Regards Daniel Lintott On 26/09/13 21:34, Daniel Lintott wrote: > On 26/09/13 19:19, Juhani Numminen wrote: >> Hello, Daniel, > >> Here’s my review of vpcs 0.5b0-1.
