compile vs. apt-get (dpkg)

["Grischa Schuering" <schuering@inity.de>]

Hello,

I have asked this question before....
I am a fan of the apt-get update feature... But right now I need to
compile a package (apache) from source, because I need to compile into
the source a few modules, which are not available as precompiled
packages..

I undestand, that I loose all apt functionality, when starting to
compile my own source.
What way is the best to deal with a situation like this ???


Thanks,

Grischa
