[Chicago-talk] Stealth Perl Install and then the old swap-a-roo?

[Young, Aaron]

you have to build a .deb file of the compiled source you want

this will create all the necessary debian things to make sure that your
package is handled by dpkg 

i haven't done this in a while, but here are the notes i have from a
year or more ago (use apt-get source to get the foo_* files)

building debian packages

You will need all of foo_*.dsc, foo_*.tar.gz and foo_*.diff.gz to
compile the source (note: there is no .diff.gz for a Debian native
package). 
Once you have them, if you have the dpkg-dev package installed, the
following command: 

dpkg-source -x foo_version-revision.dsc
will extract the package into a directory called foo-version. 

If you want just to compile the package, you may cd into foo-version
directory and issue the command 

debian/rules build
to build the program, then 

debian/rules binary
as root, to build the package, and then 

dpkg -i ../foo_version-revision_arch.deb
to install the newly-built package.
