Building package caches not under Debian

2001-11-08 Thread David West
I'm building on a non-Debian box a package cache of a subset of testing to be used later to populate a base Debian install. I've already ensured that the dependencies are satisfied locally. I understand that apt needs Packages.gz files for the local cache. My question is: can I use the correspondi

Building package from newer upstream source?

2001-02-21 Thread Stuart Ballard
For a couple of reasons, I have a need to install versions of Xfree86 that are newer than the newest available packages. In fact, I want to get the newest version from XFree86's CVS repository. However, I'd like to do this in such a way that I don't break the careful Debian packaging done by the X

Is there an easy way to compile a Debian source package with debugging options turned on (removing the -O2 and adding -g to all the make files) or is that something that has to be done manually? Something like dpkg-buildpackage --debug??? Thanks, Gerry

To strict dependencies when building package

I am just about to release a new version of a program I am writing. For this version I have promised my users binary packages. Making the .deb went relatively smoothly, but the resulting packages dependencies turned out to strict. The package is built on a machine with Helix-GNOME installed (and
