I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand what your asking for. I'm not using the source packages but a copy of the latest source code I can find for every package (from svn, cvs, tar.gz etc). I then add the necessary debian/* files, gathered from an existing package when possible or created, and use the pdebuild tool to build each package in a chroot. When all .deb are built, the following commands are run : apt-ftparchive packages . > Packages apt-ftparchive contents . > Contents apt-ftparchive release . > Release gpg -abs --yes -q -o Release.gpg Release I should probably build source packages and then binary packages from those but I already had a hard time to put this together so I'm not going to change my setup right now :) Anyway, I just built the packages for Quantal amd64, you can find them here (they are untested) : http://coyote.octets.fr/pub/gnustep/packages/quantal/amd64/ You can use the following apt source : deb http://coyote.octets.fr/pub/gnustep/packages/quantal/amd64/ ./ Let me now if you test them.
