HI, you run the scripts from the project directory you want to build. For example, if you want to build rsyslog, place the downloaded tar.gz into the rsyslog directory. - Then run repack.sh to rename and unpack rsyslog. - Run prepare.sh to prepare a new rsyslog release, this copies debian files to the prior unpacked rsyslog directory. - Finally run build.sh to build the actual packages.
I think this solves the mystery of your other questions ;).
