Building packages from source (pcmcia-cs)

[Bill Moseley <moseley@hank.org>]

I'm about to build a new kernel and pcmcia-cs from sourceforge.  I have the
debian package pcmcia-cs installed.  I'm not clear what I need to do to the
existing package.  Should it be removed or placed on hold?

If on hold, what's the best method?  I'm running sid.

http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkg_basics.html section 6.12:

       dpkg --get-selections \* > selections.txt
       (edit)
       dpkg --set-selections < selections.txt

I tend not to ever use dselect for some reason -- I guess I find apt-get
much clearer on what is going to happen.
