Leigh, you' did a pretty good job in explaining it. For about 2 years or so Debian was only offering outdated packages and even I started to compile packages. While I greatly appreciate the 'standard file locations' and dependencies Debian enforces there may be good reasons to recompile a Debian package e.g. if command line values need to be changed. In such case I download the Debian source files (original source plus Debian diff), change the compile parameters in debian/rules and build the packges. This normally works UNLESS there are major program changes.
Therefor, in conclusion and for the benefit of any other reader, if you need to change some compile parameters you should NOT download the tarball and compile it but the original source together with the Debian diff file and then recompile it. Just my 2 yen. Thanks, Bernd --- 差出人: "Leigh S.
