或許你曾經有過重新編譯 (compile) 一些 debian package 的需要，例如你使用的 Debian 系統還是 stable，而某 package 只有在 unstable 中才有，又或是你需要修改一下某個 package 編譯時的參數，使得它更符合你的要求？

大概有不少人都有留意 Arne Götje (高盛華) 的兩套 CJKUnifont 已正式進入 Debian Sid ，而當中已包含了開源香港常用中文字體計劃的最近成果。

This is my second Java installation artical for Debian HK .

To help other Debain user to install Java SDK 1.5. in Debian Testing quickly, Here is my summary steps to install Java SDK 1.5. in Debain testing :

1. Make sure that the contrib section is included in your APT sources ( /etc/apt/sources.list ).

Example: (your may differ a bit, but make sure the contrib part is there)

deb http://ftp.hk.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

2. Create a directory ( for example : tempfile) to hold the java files,

3. Download Java SDK or run time 1.5 from Sun Website to that directory.

Hi all, I've synced the iiimf xcin packages with their RH release 0.1.7-10.

They are available for download and testing here:

Finally, I have finished packaged the stardict 2.4.3-3 package. This build is fixed the problem of FTBFS with GTK+ 2.4. I have also translated a traditional chinese help help of stardict (submitted to upstream) and packed in this build.

While I didn't get any problem on building with pbuilder last week, I got the same problem as Sebastien's bug report this time - Missing X11. It spent several hours to work in the pbuilder environment and found that I miss a build dependency on libxt-dev finally. (Should it be depended on other gtk/gnome libraries?)

I try to test this build with pbuilder in Sid and Sarge. It should be ok

Spent sometime to solve the dependency problem of stardict package, YPWong help me to upload the stardict 2.4.3-2 package to sid yesterday. It sounds like solved most bug report but I got one more report this morning. Sebastien Bacher had spending a whole day to compile most gtk+ application under GTK+ 2.4 and submit bug report to those failed. And stardict is one of them.

After having a glance on it, it is caused by fail to find the X11 library!? Oops, the log show his machine have already install libx11-dev. BTW, try to re-compile stardict with GTK+ 2.4. (The old package work well under Gnome 2.6, I have tested it)

Yesterday, I work a whole night on the stardict package again and didn't sleep til 7 today. I don't got holiday during easter and my hacking plan delayed. Then, I haven't touch it for a while after 2.4.3-1 enter Sid. However, the package is stuck in Sid and fail to enter Sarge. I spent a few night to try to solve it and other remian bugs. With the help of YP, I found that it is caused by my hardcode dependency on stardict-tools and make it fail to install on Alpha and IA64 platform (They don't got libc6 but only libc6.1) I hardcode that coz I found dpkg-shlibdeps fill the dependency with many unnesessary package. I seems that it is better to modify the automake to minimize the dependency.

Apart from the dependency problem, I also fixed two remain bugs in the BTS and point the documents of package stardict to the one in stardict-common to save space. Now, waiting for the help of foka and see if this version enter Sarge. Wow, it will be bug free in BTS if everything is alright!
