You should be able to just edit /etc/apt/sources.list and comment all other lines, to add the following:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib Then run the following commands: cd /usr/local/src apt-get update && apt-get source openssh-server apt-get build-dep openssh-server That'll get you the source....as for patching it and rebuilding it, I'm sure you could patch the source you get the usual way, and then follow these instructions to rebuild the .deb package: (from: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html) ------------------------------ To download a source package, you would use the following command: $ apt-get source packagename This will download three files: a .orig.tar.gz, a .dsc and a .diff.gz. In the case of packages made specifically for Debian, the last of these is not downloaded and the first usually won't have "orig" in the name. The .dsc file is used by dpkg-source for unpacking the source package into the directory packagename-version. Within each downloaded source package there is a debian/ directory that contains the files needed for creating the .deb package. To auto-build the package when it's been downloaded, just add -b to the command line, like this: $ apt-get -b source packagename If you decide not to create the .deb at the time of the download, you can create it later by running: $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b from within the directory that was created for the package after downloading. To install the package built by the commands above one must use the package manager directly, like this: # dpkg -i file.deb On 6/3/07, Andrew Lentvorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I *really* need to install the hpn version of openssh in Debian. The performance of scp just sucks with the default openssh (yes, I have improved the performance some using a "-c arcfour" cipher, but it's still pretty bad). How do I do this? I do not see any packages that would do this for me (and, it would have to be for an ARM9, to boot). So, I need to: 1) Pull the source via apt 2) Apply the HPN patch 3) Build the source 4) Install the source Is there a good way to do this with apt? I know how to unpack an SRPM, patch it, and repack it so that it looks like a normal RPM and then install that. This is effectively what I want to do with Debian. So, how do I do this? Presumably, I want to pull the openssh-server from unstable somehow. Then apply the patch to the source. I'm at a loss as to how to do this.
