Gosh, yes. At the moment those docs are so convoluted and contain so many references to other projects which don't exist that they're difficult to use effectively; I guess that this is due to the 0.1 version status of most of them (NOTE TO DEBIAN DOC TEAM: I'm not criticising here. I *understand* how difficult it is ...). I'd reccomend the "Makeing a debian Package" page, which is pretty good for small/single packages. It sure did help me understand the basics. If you're compiling some humungous multi-package beast (;cough Xwindows) it's probably not your first package. Anyway, you can find the above page via the debian doc page or at http://fatman.mathematik.tu-muenchen.de/~schwarz/debian-doc/(no linebreak) manuals/make_package.html Will ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cis.udel.edu/~lowe/ For PGP Public Key, visit my website. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
