Edit debian/changelog and add an additional entry to the top, incrementing the version number by 0.0.1. The devscripts package contains a utility called debchange (or dch) which will help you get the format right. Then build and install the new package. When a real new version comes out, you'll get that, but until then your local packages will remain installed. >I put "export CFLAGS='-O2 -march=i686'" into my .bash_profile, but >the rules build seems to ignore it (hence me editing that script). Yes, debian/rules routinely sets CFLAGS itself. Packages are supposed to build the same way regardless of their environment. (By the way, the easiest way to build a package is 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot', or, again from the devscripts package, 'debuild'.) Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
