Debian Package Customization HOWTO
Posted by El_Cubano on Sat 4 Jun 2005 at 23:24
After a new user transitioning from FreeBSD to Debian asked how to customize the options used to build a Debian package, I responded with a short and sweet recipe. Someone kindly suggested that I turn it into a full HOWTO. I have done just that.
The resulting Debian Package Customization HOWTO is targeted at people who are interested in taking an existing Debian package and tweaking it or modifying it for their own needs.
Some of the material there has already been covered upon this site:
- Finding packages
- Rebuilding Debian packages
- Giving users root privileges selectively with sudo
- Testing package building with pbuilder
