I didn't tried it myself, but looking at the manpage of apt-build, it seems that it can shorten that a lot: apt-build --patch <file> install <package> > Is there a command to do that? > What about automating the whole process as much as possible? Don't know if you can automate the whole thing with apt-build. If not you could combine it with an cron-apt and an extra action for apt-build, or subscribe to the interested package at http://packages.qa.debian.org/<package> and create a realy cool procmail-rule for that ;) Yours sincerely, Alexander
