Build instructions ================== 1- get the source # cvs co alternc 2- get the dependencies You probably need at least dpkg-dev, dehelper and optionally fakeroot, to build the package as non-root. 3- build the package Should be as simple as calling dpkg-buildpackage now. The package will be in ../alternc__.deb You can verify the validity of the package using: lintian -i ../*.deb Warning: this will print out a lot of messages, since the package is really not clean right now.
