I recently built some debs for ubuntu lucid like so: apt-get source couchdb tar -zxf apache-couchdb-1.0.2.tar.gz mv apache-couchdb-1.0.2/ couchdb-1.0.2 cd couchdb-1.0.2 cp -a ../couchdb-0.10.0/debian . dch -i cd debian/patches rm COUCHDB-413-missing-couchspawnkillable.patch fix-help2man.patch http-redirect-query-string-fix.patch icu-config.patch cd .. debuild -b I deleted those patches because they failed to apply cleanly against the 1.0.2 source and I simply didn't have time to check if they were still required - I figured that all my source builds of vanilla 1.0.2 were fine so I could probably live without them. The emitted debs passed all the tests in futon so I think it's okay. YMMV! dch and debuild are provided in the 'devscripts' package. 'dch' bumps the version and changelog entry. 'debuild -b' builds binary packages only. Im happy to send you those debs if you would like them?
