As others have said: you'd rarely create binary packages 'out of thin air' - usually you'd write/modify a Debian source package (this is a .tar.gz file, an optional .diff.gz file and a .dsc file) and use standard Debian tools (dpkg-buildpackage, debuild or some others) to create a new binary package. Here are some URLs to get you started: <http://liw.iki.fi/liw/talks/debian-packaging-tutorial.pdf> (These are some slides - not very verbose, but might give you a quick idea) <http://www.us.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/> (This will get you started quite efficiently) <http://www.us.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/> (this is the definitive reference on Debian packages. Probably not what you'd want to start with, though.) greetings -- vbi -- featured product: the GNU Compiler Collection - http://gcc.gnu.org
