Dear list,

I am running sarge, and I am going to compile a program which is not in
sarge but in testing. I have downloaded the source file together with
the *.diff file from the ftp.debian.org site. I have installed all the
required *-dev dependences (the sarge version of them) too. I would like
to learn about the steps in order to make a deb package of the program,
in particular, how to deal with the *.diff file. Where can I find a
"compiling programs in debian way for dummies" reference?

Thanks in advance for the help

Description: Rebuild Debian packages from source code
This is a simple tool which is designed to allow a local
administrator to rebuild individual Debian packages from
their source code.
.
With the aid of a few included wrapper scripts this allows
automatically rebuilding a package and all its dependencies.
.
Note: This software is not designed to enhance your installation
by producing optimized binaries, however this may be achieved
with the aid of companion packages such as 'pentium-builder',
or 'athlon-builder'.
.
The prime purpose of this package is to ease the testing of
compiler patches such as the Stack Smashing Protection patch
available from IBM.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
