I'm wondering if a 'cproto' debian package is available for the Linux 2.2 kernel. I see one under 'unstable' but from what I read, application binaries need to be compiled for the kernel you are running. Cproto has been around for several years; I'm surprised it's not there (so I suspect I'm wrong).
More generally, when binaries of a Debian package aren't available for my kernel, can I put another distribution (e.g., unstable) in my sources.list temporarily and do an 'apt-get sources' to compile an application for my kernel? Thanks, Kris
