Just follow the following steps: $ svn co svn://anonscm.debian.org/debian-science/packages/ng-spice- rework/trunk/ ngspice $ cd ngspice $ ./debian/rules get-orig-source $ mv *.gz .. $ dpkg-buildpackage -S It will complain about missing because there are none, all the files for building the source package are in the .orig.tar.gz file. I use the following method for more packages and it works nicely. I assume it would have been more work to make one package per source file. There is no hurry, just knowing someone will upload in the near future is a big relief for me :) Regards Gudjon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
