The whole idea of using packages is to outsource the job of maintenance of those packages. Sometimes you need to wrest control, though, and take over the outsourced job. When that time comes with Debian packages, its good to understand how the build process works. If you want to build your own package, getting the configure args is pretty straight-forward. $ apt-get source php5 $ cd php5*/debian $ less rules # look for the configure options You can even modify the rules file (just a glorified makefile) to update the build to your needs and then build it: $ sudo apt-get install devscripts $ sudo apt-get build-dep php5 $ cd .. # make sure you're above the debian dir $ debuild -uc -us -b $ dpkg -i ../php5*deb That's all, Mark. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
