If there is anybody interested, here is the recipe to build a "debugging
pine": Get the Debian sources (.orig.tar.gz, .dsc and .diff.gz) and unpack
them as usual:
dpkg-source -x pine_3.96L-3.dsc
Now you have to decide whether you want a "debugging pine" or not.
For a debugging pine, just modify pine-3.96L/pine/makefile.lnx
so that the line saying "DEBUG= ..." reads like this:
DEBUG= -g -DDEBUG
After that, the .deb packages may be created in the usual way, just go
to the pine-3.96L directory and type:
debian/rules binary
This will take about half an hour on a 486-66 (the machine I have).
I understand this recipe may not be "self-evident". Would things be better
if I make "debian/rules binary" to display a little message saying exactly
which file have to be patched? (it already stops to warn the user that the
.deb's should not be distributed).
Thanks.
