I'm not that familiar with it, but we're not maintaining trunk to support it. If all you want is to generate a deb, the source is already debianized and you can do so using the standard method of just running dpkg-buildpackage -uc -b. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com
