I track gtk-gnutella svn here (for debian and ubuntu). It is incredibly easy. grab the latest tree with subversion (as per the instructions on sourceforge). Do this bit once.. "apt-get build-dep gtk-gnutella" (this will install all the bits required to build the source. cd into the source directory and do "fakeroot debian/rules binary" This will build a debian package for you in the directory above the source dir. dpkg -i <the .deb file it creates> and you are done. To update you cd into the source dir and do "svn up" then "fakeroot debian/rules binary". cd .. "dpkg -i <the .deb file it creates>" rinse..lather..repeat.. It's incredibly easy and I've not had it break in the several years I've been doing it this way. This works for debian or ubuntu, and in fact the .deb packages I create on debian stable install perfectly under the latest ubuntu for me. It makes a very clean package and does not clutter up your system. If you ever want to go back to the ubuntu (or debian) supplied version then "apt-get install --reinstall gtk-gnutella" will do that for you just fine. -- Dolphins are so intelligent that within a few weeks they can train Americans to stand at the edge of the pool and throw them fish. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ gtk-gnutella-devel mailing list gtk-gnutella-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gtk-gnutella-devel
