I think you need to ask debian/rules to use system-wide libicon/gettext.. > Also the package has an 'ubuntu' in it (as it's already in the our > repo.. i got it via apt-get source elinks)? Is this alright? If not, > how do I remove ubuntu? In debian/changelog for first line where version specified: s/ubuntu/nexenta/ apt-upstream-tool does that for you. Also, over time it will do some other "policy" things... so I would suggest to use it and try to improve it if you'll find bugs and time permits. Caution: you always need to check if a package exists in our repository before getting it as is from Ubuntu. Could be that some amount of work already done by someone and all we need is to fix existing package, instead of importing new one from upstream. > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/elinks_tmp# apt-get source elinks > Reading package lists...
