  • If you are only planning to rebuild a package, you can install required packages as following:
    apt-get build-dep package
    If you are building a new package, you might need to install required dependences manually

    apt-get source package
    If it complains that there are no sources available, issue:
    change_distribution marielle -us
    apt-get update
  • To build a package, enter it's directory and issue:
    debuild -us -uc
    the paramters signal that we don't want to sign the result
