I'm actually *almost* able to follow it on first glance over, and I'm one who advocates about things being and/or not being cognitively friendly. I think I'm able to follow it because I've been struggling through MULTIPLE different debootstraps lately. Practice makes perfect, yada-yada-grin.. The topic is almost familiar, too. I probably encountered it while trying to find my own niche in helping the Debian Community. With you all chatting it back up again, I'm going to leave that tab open (as a cognitively friendly reminder it's a to-do). I was knocking on the door of being bored again, hadn't broken anything in a few days. That right there looks like a GOOD way to start breaking things again...

fakeroot to build a package?
Hello, I came across this building tutorial [1]. It advertises using fakeroot debian/rules binary command to build a package. Needless to say it doesn't work for all packages.

Re: fakeroot to build a package?
The first seems to be quick and not-detailed tutorial. The others are more detailed descriptions. What package failed that first approach, in which step and what was the error message? Anyway I found it quite hard to went through the understanding the debian packaging by myself. There are many tools and ways to do the same thing. Still don't know all the details. -- Peter On Tue, Feb 17, 2015 at 1:10 PM, Eugene Zhukov jevgeni...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, I came across this building tutorial [1].
