Ubuntu
netpbm-free package

Source version 10.37

Asked by lord_raptor

Hello,
I wanted to ask on which version of the source code the netpbm-10.0-15 is build. I need a debian package build from the version 10.37 at least. If the netpbm-10.0-15 package is build on an earlier source, could you give me some help in building a newer package?

Greetings,
raptor

What is the output of:

lsb_release -sc; dpkg -l | grep netpbm

Thanks

Let me explain why I need 10.37: I work on a terminal system with Gentoo and some developers have used some new features of the newer sources. We are switching to an Ubuntu distribution and therefore need .deb packages with the newer version. I tried compiling a package myself but failed miserably.

sry, small mistake: We need version 10.49.00 since that is what is installed on the gentoo systems

Could try the debian deb, I don't recommend it but you could try. Your call

Thx, but this package also is based on the netpbm-free-10.0 sources, I need a package based on the 10.49 sources. I have already downloaded these sources from the projects sourceforge page but I am unable to build a package from those sources.

Since this is the site for the debian package, I hoped someone could help me to build a newer package.

Thx

I managed to build a newer package from source, which means the question is resolved
