I missed the original email from Emanoil..... perhaps something with
the ML managing programs (time to time mails bounce back and I do not
get them).

In addition to Slavek's reply, here is a simple way to try:
1) download the package code that you want to build from the GIT main
repo and copy it somewhere (for example /home/<user>/tde_src/tdevelop)
2) download the package "packaging" code from the GIT packaging repo
and copy the "debian"folder for the correct distro into the forder you
used in point 1 (for example /home/<user>/tde_src/tdevelop/debian)
3) update change log
4) cd to the folder (cd /home/<user>/tde_src/tdevelop)
5) "debian/rules binary" should work out of the box and build all the
required .deb in the parent folder (for example /home/<user>/tde_src),
provided you have all required dependency packages installed.

This is just for a temporary local build. If you want a clean build in
a separate chroot environment you should use pbuilder or debuild.

This is a long outstanding point, we promised several times that we
would publish the scripts after R14.0.0 was out but we haven't done it
yet.... I will sit down and address this point once I am done with bug
420 (hopefully :-) )

Please create a new bug and attach both the original code you started
from and the final version, so we can also see the changes that were
required.

PS: you are more than welcome to contribute to TDE development. Any
improvement we can make will benefit the whole community ;-)
