in redhat there are source packages and binary packages. one may download the source package and use `rpm --rebuild <package name>' to build binary packages from that. quite easy, and useful in my case. the gcc that shipped with redhat didn't function correctly on my AMD K5 so i had to recompile it and then install the locally compiled package.
is there any feature like this in dpkg/debian? i noticed there aren't any source packages per se, but there were .orig.tar.gz files. how would i accomplish what i described above with debian/dpkg? thanks. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
