That's what I started with for the package i've started work on; a debian source archive of the last version that had been in the Debian archive. I now have access to the authors CVS repository, & imported the debian/ directory the old version to a branh he had open & was doing some work in. From there; was able to get the package working, in the sense that the package buildt & the programs operated the way they're supposed to, but the installation still didn't work properly (missing or incorrectly named directories, for instance) . So I decided to redo the package using debhelper, & generally bring the packageing itself current (rather than just the programs). (I'd need to start doing that anyway, as I had been doing the testing on a sarge install & etch has since come out...) > Good luck! Thanks!
