First get the debian pine sources. They are on your local debian
mirror in project/experimental. You need the .diff.gz, .dsc and
.orig.tar.gz files. Better use a ftp client for this, not
netscape. Netscape uncompressed the diff.gz file when I did this,
causeing trouble for the next steps.
(install the dpkg-dev debian package)
Now create the pine source tree: dpkg-source -x pine*.dsc
Cd into the sourcedir: cd pine-4.04
Create the deb packages: debian/rules binary
Install the package: cd ..; dpkg -i pine*.deb pilot*.deb pico*.deb
Ciao,
Martin
