Debian deb-src question

[Howlin Mad Murdock]

Hello,

I have a question about the deb-src. I assum its for downloading and compiling the source on your computer, but how exaclty do you go about doing that?

Thanks,

Murdock

apt-get -b source <package name>

This will make a deb for you to install.

...or if you want to tweak stuff like the ./configure parameters, then just

apt-get source <package name>

and it won't auto-build it for you.
