Hi Cyril, Sorry I'm coming back to this subject again, but the kfreebsd6-source package doesn't appear to have a "debian" directory under it, so there is no way to use the dpkg-buildpackage scripts with it. I'm going to have to resort to compiling the source code of the actual FreeBSD 6.2 kernel, but I'm not sure where the BSD-aware tools are (I think they're under /usr/lib/freebsd, so I'll give that a try first.)
Is the fact that the kfreebsd-6.2 source package (the package, not the FreeBSD 6.2 source code) is missing the debian directory an oversight, or on purpose?
