In such situations I just look through debian/rules, usually there's a target to extract the tree and another target to make etc. And if there's a stamp file which would indicate the tree has been extracted, just touch that and dpkg-buildpackage should build the .debs properly, with your patch, without re-extracting. Or you could integrate your patch into the package's patching mechanism. But that takes just a bit more work, patience, etc. -Adam -- GPG fingerprint: D54D 1AEE B11C CE9B A02B C5DD 526F 01E8 564E E4B6 Welcome to the best software in the world today cafe! http://www.take6.com/albums/greatesthits.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
