If you wish to do "manual handling" of .deb's, then i suggest you look into dpkg-deb. It allows you do build a deb, extract, etc. As for building packages from source, i think we would have to understand how your source tree is different. Anything that can install itself will work, you just have to coax it into installing into the right directorys. > > Best regards > Allan Jacobsen > SW Engineer R&D > 2M Electronic A/S > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-request@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
