Well as much as I tried to undersand what Stephen tries to say, I simply don't get the message, but it might be due to a language barrier. I'm sure of only one thing, as long as my system does not allow me to: # apt-get build-deps myprogram # apt-get source -b myprogram I'm locked into the FTBFS madness and I'm slave of whoever produced the binary package. For interested parties, I work for Sun as a sustaining engineer and I do have a regular problem to "apt-get source -b" some of our software packages. I'm not proud of that and I was hoping Indiana will finally bring order to chaos... -- http://martinman.net _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
