problem getting source for package
Hi I am trying to get the source package for rdiff-backup apt-cache policy rdiff-backup rdiff-backup: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1.2.8-5+b2 Version table: 1.2.8-5+b2 0 500 http://ftp.au.debian.org testing/main Packages 100 http://ftp.au.debian.org unstable/main Packages 1.2.8-5alex0.2 0 500 http://deb.samad.com.au testing/main Packages 1.2.5-1 0 500 http://ftp.au.debian.org stable/main Packages I apply a patch to the source before using. now when I do a apt-get source rdiff-backup, I only get 1.2.8-5 not 1.2.8-5+b2. From the changelog i can see this rdiff-backup (1.2.8-5+b2) unstable; urgency=low * Binary-only non-maintainer upload for i386; no source changes. * Build extension for python2.6 -- i386 Build Daemon buildd_i386-bi...@buildd.debian.org Tue, 26 Jan 2010 03:34:45 + so what do I do, just keep using 1.2.8-5 and up my version to 1.2.8-5+b2alex03 ?

See http://wiki.debian.org/binNMU for details. so what do I do, just keep using 1.2.8-5 and up my version to 1.2.8-5+b2alex03 ? This would be perfectly fine, and work as you expect.
