Hi! I've upgraded to Debian 1.1 two days ago and have some doubts...
I used to have installed lots of packages I couldn't find in a debianized form (fetchpop, ImageMagick, and lots more). I see several alternatives, but I'd like a recommendation... 1) Wait till somebody releases a debianized package (I don't think this will be the best, though) 2) Install everything as it comes under /usr/local, and keep the mess confined there. (A last resort, isn't it?) 3) Make an attempt to 'debianize' the packages, installing them under /usr/local with dpkg (my 'own debianization', in fact). 4) Try to debianize the packages in a FSSTND compliant way, to eventually install them with dpkg. (I'd need a spare year... <g>) Of those four, I like best the 3rd, but I've got to learn how to make a good debianized package (I've already updated to lynx 2.5 and xwpe 1.4.2, byt that was just a matter of 'manual diffing') Any recommendations? Bye & Good Luck! Pablo B.
