Hi All,

I've just changed from many years of Mandrake to Debian Sarge.  One 
thing I noticed when researching the move is lots of dire warnings 
about not polluting the filetree with non-Deb apps.

I'm pretty familiar with compiling FG from source and CVS.   Are there 
any special considerations I need to look out for when compiling FG for 
my Debian system?  Things like PREFIX flags etc so that the binaries 
end up in the 'correct' place?  (/usr/local is ok for anything non-Deb, 
yes?)

Also, the current version of FG needs a newer version of plib than Sarge 
provides.  What are the ramifications of installing both Deb plib and 
CVS plib at the same time?

[just had a thought] Is there a way to build a deb package from a CVS 
source and install it using apt?  That would get around the plib 
problem above.

Sorry about the number of questions; this is my first install of a major 
non-Deb piece of software and I don't want to screw up the packaging 
system just yet. ;) 

Thanks for any help,
Nick
