Make is a system to coordinate a software build (invoking the compilers, linking, building documentation, etc.) Usually, make just coordinates everything, calling out to other programs to do the actual work. Packaging is a way to collect all the parts of a piece of software to make it installable in an operating system. You could use "make" to coordinate the build of a package: actually, many Debian packages use make (in part) to do this. Cheers -- tomás
