Hi Joost,
take an example from deb sources packages already published.
Download these three files:
ftp://ftp.fr.postgresql.org/pgadmin3/release/debian/dists/etch/pgadmin/source/misc/pgadmin3_1.8.0-1~pgaoetch1.diff.gz
ftp://ftp.fr.postgresql.org/pgadmin3/release/debian/dists/etch/pgadmin/source/misc/pgadmin3_1.8.0-1~pgaoetch1.dsc
ftp://ftp.fr.postgresql.org/pgadmin3/release/debian/dists/etch/pgadmin/source/misc/pgadmin3_1.8.0.orig.tar.gz
then dpkg-source -x *.dsc
copy the pgadmin3-1.8.0/debian to the upstream source directory (it should be in a directory untitled pgadmin3-1.8.2)
then cd pgadmin3-1.8.2
type dch -i to add a changelog entry and modify the version number to something like 1.8.2-xxx
then dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
it should build quite straightforward.
I know I'm late in releasing the package of 1.8.2 and I'm sorry about that.
Regards,
Raphaël

I tried to compile the source distribution on Debian Lenny AMD64 to
create a Debian package, which failed.
Running "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot" in the root of the source
distribution gave the following error:
"dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
tail: cannot open `debian/changelog' for reading: No such file or directory
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: tail of debian/changelog gave error exit status 1"
Running "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot" in the pkg directory of the
source distribution errors that suggested that there should be a
wxWidgets 2.7.0-1 source (?) installation somewhere in the PgAdmin
source tree, which is not the case.
I have a (compiled) version of wxWidgets 2.8.0 installed from a
repository maintained by the wxWidgets people (http://apt.wxwidgets.org/
etch-wx main).
Is it possible to build a .deb file from the source distribution, using
my own version of wxWidgets or do I have to fall back to "./configure ;
make make install"?
TIA
