How to create 1.41 Debian .deb packages?

Hi, Can anyone tell me how I can create Debian .deb packages fro Boost 1.41, as they are not available from any repository? Preferably written down for dummies....

Make sure to have unstable in your source.list. Then: $ tar xvfz boost1.41.tgz $ apt-get source libboost1.40-dev $ mv boost1.40-1.40.0/debian boost1.41 $ cd boost1.41 $ cd debian && (replace all 1.40 occurences with 1.41) $ dpkg-buildpackage HTH -- Mathieu

Hi Mathieu, Thanks for the answer. On Thu, 2009-11-19 at 10:33 +0100, Mathieu Malaterre wrote:

Alas, it did not work as-is: there are missing files when generating the documents for Boost (just the first few lines): # package libboost-doc rm -rf debian/libboost1.41-doc/usr/share/doc/libboost1.41-doc/HTML mkdir -p debian/libboost1.41-doc/usr/share/doc/libboost1.41-doc/HTML cat debian/documentation-files | xargs cp --parents --target-directory=debian/libboost1.41-doc/usr/share/doc/libboost1.41-doc/HTML cp: cannot stat `doc/html/bbv2/advanced.html': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `doc/html/boost/accumulators/as_feature_tag_droppabl_id549540.html': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `doc/html/boost/accumulators/as_feature_tag_error_of_id551416.html': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `doc/html/boost/accumulators/as_feature_tag_extended_id551963.html': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `doc/html/boost/accumulators/as_feature_tag_extended_id551979.html': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `doc/html/boost/accumulators/as_feature_tag_mean_imm_id552800.html': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `doc/html/boost/accumulators/as_feature_tag_mean_laz_id552784.html': No such file or directory No idea how to fix this (did I mention dummies?)
