While they are not suitable for redistribution you can use checkinstall to create a deb and therefore take advantage of your distributions package management system. You should be able to install it via the ubuntu repo's and using it is as simple as running checkinstall from the root of the source. There is also an article on debian-administration that gives a quick rundown on how to create packages: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/336 However the link Soren from has more details. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
