with a little editing, you can build the unstable package on -stable. i've also built from source on -stable. if you're already using the package, you might want to use the packaged version, since debian puts stuff in weird (ie conforming to debian policy) places. you'll need the debianutils and dh-make packages if you don't already have them. i think i needed to comment out the dh_installman line from debian/rules in the source package as well. so basically.... 1) install the debianutils dpkg-dev and dh-make packages if necessary. 1.5) edit sources list so that you're getting testing or unstable source packages. 2) apt-get source mailman 3) edit mailman-2.0.8/debian/rules as necessary (i think just commenting out the dh_installman line is sufficient). 4) (from within the source directory) $ fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage 5) # cd .. ; dpkg -i mailman*deb -- Will Yardley input: william < @ hq . newdream . net . > ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py
