Hi, Having installed woody I'm now wanting to compile stuff that is used a lot and/or is CPU-intensive (C libraries, shell, gcc, gzip...) optimised for my CPU. I've done the kernel and X already; gcc has gone from egcs-2.91.66 to gcc-2.95.4; definitely looks slower than with slink.
With all my woody CD images copied onto hard disk and mounted under /scsidrive: $ for x in `find /scsidrive -name source`; do ls -Rl $x; done | grep -v '^.r' /scsidrive/woody1/dists/woody/contrib/source: total 56 /scsidrive/woody1/dists/woody/contrib/source/admin: total 0 /scsidrive/woody1/dists/woody/contrib/source/base: total 0 ... ... ... /scsidrive/woody7/dists/woody/main/source/x11: total 0 /scsidrive/woody7/dists/woody/non-US/contrib/source: total 0 /scsidrive/woody7/dists/woody/non-US/main/source: total 0 I thought the presence of the source code was part of the reason why it took seven CDs!!! WAAAA!!! Is there a separate set of Debian source CDs, or whatever? Or do I just have to download the source for everything separately? Having put appropriate deb-src lines in sources.list, pointing to CD images or websites as appropriate, have I got this sequence right? apt-get source --download-only whatever # get source package dpkg-source -x whatever.dsc # unpack it # fiddle with Makefiles etc. dpkg-buildpackage -b -ai686 whatever.dsc # create binary .deb dpkg -i whatever.deb # install it Pigeon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
