You can try putting the debian directory from the source package (apt-get source gphoto2) in the snapshot source, adding a new entry to debian/changelog and maybe changing other files in there which are somehow version specific and then building with debuild or dpkg-buildpackage. If there's a problem, you'll likely have to modify other files like debian/rules (nice pun eh? :) and debian/control and maybe others. -- Earthling Michel D�nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast
