I've changed the postinst script to create a symbolic link in /var/log,
so that it will (hopefully) work in all cases. It is also backwards

If I don't get any replies saying this is a bad idea I'll upload

To create a binary *.deb package, root privileges are required. This
is because you must create a complete directory structure with proper
ownerships and permissions first, and then use dpkg-deb to create
a package from it.
But this should't really be necessary. A tar file is a

If you're creating a Debian package you need to be root on the system
you're going to install it on to test it. Even if you're using some
shared environment in which you don't have root on the main
development machine, is it really that problematic to make the
`binary' target on the test
David Engel writes (Re: ncurses-1.9.8a ELF release):
Slowly. I've been trying to better understand how dpkg works and find
a way to do what I want with the current behaviour. The only way I've
come up with is rather ugly and probably error prone so I haven't even
bother to hash it all out.
After Ian Lance Taylor from cygnus has confirmed that GNU ld for ELF
will continue to behave that way, I'd like to pass this to the maintainer
of debian packages.
The latest packages I've compiled and seen some superfluous -lfoo are:

manpath (-lgdbm)
zsoelim (-lgdbm)
The 0.93R6 sysvinit-2.57b used /var/log/initrunlevel as the file to

Kernel 1.3.53 seems to have changed the way memory use is reported (I
think it reports a new value in /proc/meminfo, cached:, referring to
cached VM pages) and also has an internal process kernel bdflush that
has a space in its name. The result is that top and ps can dump

These listings have been using out-of-date overrides file and Packages
file information, because the cron job to update my local copy wasn't

I think I've fixed that now, and the next summary should be correct.
Please let me know of any further problems.
