iptstate 2.2.1
OK, please excuse me if this is a noob question answered in an FAQ I missed, or if I should be asking somewhere else. I'm a bit lost here. I need to install iptstate 2.2.1 on an Debian Etch system. Unfortunately, the one in stable is 2.1.1. 2.2.1 is available in testing, but that would require updating a lot of things. I could just compile and link the source for the 2.2.1 version, but I'd like not to do this if I don't have to. I would appreciate any guidance and/or pointers to where I can find more about things like this without bothering people here. Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Not a DD, but: 1) your question is more related to debian-user list, not debian-mentors 2) your can fetch source package from testing and try to build it on Etch machine. 3) your may also check www.backports.org for newer version of your package - -- Eugene V.

In this case you might only need to install exim4-daemon-heavy. If you do need to do a custom build of exim then you should take advantage of the package's rather nice support for creating an exim4- daemon-custom package. I think it's documented in a file in the debian directory of the source package. Thanks for the info. I'll look into it. However, that was just an example of what I'm looking for; I'm sure as I get into the source distributions I'll find others which are similar. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Modifying existing packages
Hi, all, I'm new to this end - and don't know if what I want is possible or not. But here goes. I need to modify some of the stock Debian packages for different options. For instance, I need to modify Exim to include MySQL support. I have several other packages with similar needs. What I need is a pointer to instructions on how I can get the the information for how these packages were built so I can modify them to meet my needs. I'd like to change them as little as necessary to maintain compatibility with other packages. I've looked through a lot of documentation and haven't figured out how to get the original build information. But with all the available info out there, I probably missed it, also. So if someone can at least provide a pointer to doc on where I should start, I'd appreciate it. TIA. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
