You untar it, and cd into the package source directory first. You might want to add -b, too, which means "build a binary package only, don't need a source package". One tricky bit with the 0.26 release in particular is that I had to munge the debian version because I messed up the versions on the pre packages, so the debian package is actually version "0.26.0", not "0.26". So dpkg-buildpackage will be happier if you rename the build directory from "monotone-0.26" to "monotone-0.26.0". There's also pre-built debs for both x86 and amd64, on both sid and sarge, on the web site :-). -- Nathaniel -- The Universe may / Be as large as they say But it wouldn't be missed / If it didn't exist. -- Piet Hein _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
