Hi,
apt-src, good start, really like the fact that it
figures out dependancies and creates .deb file once
complete and is fairly easy to use.
However, there are some things I would like to see
added at some point if possible:
1) Option to compile dependances as opposed to
automatically
OK, howzabout some useful links that show that
although Debian may be losing some users, which is
still a shame, it perhaps not as bad as some would
think.

I believe that apt-build can do this. Unfortunatly,

2) Option to add additional compile flags to gcc.
Hi,
been playing with deb-src to see how it works.
Interesting little utility. I noticed when it started
the old ./configure that the arch was set to i386, but
I prefer to have this set to my arch. I can't find
anything in the docs that says if this is possible or
not, anyone have any ideas?
Hi,
apt-src?
yup, sorry shouldn't write mail and do other stuff @
the same time.
Don't fool with the Debian architecture name. It
might be better to
install pentium-builder instead.
got that installed I pretty sure. Actually I was
talking rubbish about it building against i386 arch,

OK, I think I can add something to this little chain
mail as I use both Debian and Gentoo.
Why do I do that? Well, Debian is great and all and I
use it on servers etc, but on my workstation I want
