If it is already debianized, you can build the packages using dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot I am not sure where subversion comes into picture in your problem. May be I am not understanding the question properly. Roberto has written a very good document on customizing debian packages with detailed instructions. But unfortunately I could not locate it in google. You can take a look at my own crude version of building customized gnuplot packages. http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/2007/04/build-gnuplot-with-gnu-readline-and.html hth raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
