Re: How to rebuild from .deb sources (exim)

I got open ldap and a bunch of other packages and was able to rebuild (except I kept getting complaints about PGP keys at the end; I tried the options to turn off signing, but they didn't seem to take).
Crunch time comes when I try to use the perl I put in. Was there any particular gotcha that caused you to leave it out, or was it just the desire to avoid extra junk? I recall I had to fiddle a little to get it to hook up with perl--specifically it wanted to include all the dbm library variants and I didn't have them all. I imagine that might be a little tricky to automate, since the line is auto-generated in the middle of the build process.

Yes, that is indeed the solution here.

No, the main documentation wouldn't mention it, because it's not part of
exim itself, but implemented as a rewrite rule in the configuration file:
the main documentation would allow you to work out what the rewrite rule did
if you looked at the config file. I guess I should mention it in the
README.debian file.
