I'll build a chroot environment with deboostrap with "unstable". I'll have to build the new libnet1 package of David Paleino from all files he upload on mentors.debian.net (with Debian unstable dependencies). After, I'll can build my package from source. It seems to be the better solution... My words "clean" and "stable" means that I have a Debian stable and i doesn't want to upgrade to testing or unstable, so i need a specific environment to build package.

No, you do not! You need what you already have - the Debian Etch environment. You can, of course make `debootstrap etch` in trying to not pollute your clean 'working' environment with build dependencies, or whatever, but this is not necessary. OTOH, if you build your binary package in Debian Sid enviroment, they could be suitable for Sid (that's the point!), but you have a little chance to install them in Etch due to broken dependecies. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Didn't I tell you to wait a bit? :) The new libnet1, with the applied patches is now in unstable. You don't need to get anything from mentors, just do: # apt-get update # apt-get -t unstable install libnet1 libnet1-dev Kindly, David -- . ''`.

It is only curiosity to improve my technical skills and observing the procedure to submit a package for sponsoring help to understand what files to provide, where to upload them, and anything interesting for newbies... It is the fearlessness of the youth ! ;) Sorry, i doesn't want to disturb or irritate anyone. > The new libnet1, with the applied patches is now in unstable.

The only thing i have to do now is to build a package and that will be a great adventure for me ;) Again, sorry for my impatience.
