Hi all, As a temporary solution, I made an unofficial build of version 6.2.7. The dsc and debian files are attached.
The instruction to build the packages (for users not familiar with Debian packaging): step 1: Install build-essential, devscripts, debhelper, autotools-dev, libncursesw5-dev, and libncurses5-dev (probably id-utils and exuberant-ctags as well for their support) step 2: Download the original source tarball from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/global/global-6.2.7.tar.gz and rename it into global_6.2.7.orig.tar.gz step 3: Download global_6.2.7-1.dsc and global_6.2.7-1.debian.tar.gz and put them at the same directory as global_6.2.7.orig.tar.gz step 4: Run `dpkg-source -x global_6.2.7-1.dsc' to generate directory global-6.2.7 step 5: Run `cd global-6.2.7; debuild -us -uc' If everything goes well, the deb file will be generated at the parent directory. Best, Hongzheng
