Hmm. Just tried this... The 'apt-get source' works fine, but the 'apt-get --compile' doesn't. It wants to download the whole lot again; it appears to have forgotten that it's just done that. (ie, it does what man apt-get seems to suggest it will do.) Does this mean that I have to put a deb-src file: line in sources.list, and cobble together a Packages file to sit in the download directory? I've tried this, creating the Packages file by cutting out the relevant package from the Debian Packages file and changing the package directory to the local one, and it appears to be working as I type, but is there a better way of doing it?
