Yeah, I should mention in the Wiki that it's a 32 bit version. I have a mix of 64 and 32 bit machines at home, and I tend to use 32 bit versions of Linux on all of them just to keep everything the same. Therefore I don't currently have a means to build and test deb files in 64 bit environments. > I'll grind out the upgrade to 12.04(amd64) and work on the learning > curve to build a deb file.

Given one has to compile Xastir anyway in order to create a deb file, you might as well just compile Xastir from source after you upgrade to 12.04 and not worry about using a deb package. The wiki has been updated now on installing Xastir from source via CVS. http://www.xastir.org/wiki/HowTo:Ubuntu_12.04 The build script, which is referenced in the HowTo above, automates the whole process - makes it almost as easy as installing a deb package. The slow internet speed will make it take a while, though. I just remembered that you were the one that had the negative experience with an early version of the build script a few years back - that's because the original script was written to use aptitude instead of apt. I would not expect there to be an issue now but with the caveat that there are no guarantees.
