However the system doesn't know about them sinc they aren't .deb files. I thought building a deb from the sources would be a better way of handling this or is it overkill? If you want just that the system know about them, use equivs (apt-get install equivs and read the documentation). If you want that the system manage them, debianize them. The better way will depend of your disponibility. If possible, debianize them. Other peoples will can be benefited. About equivs, read apt-howto (apt-get install apt-howto) > If so, i found the Debian New Maintainers' Guide, is this what one uses to accomplish this? Yes. > Thanks.
