This is not to say your method is "wrong" or even that it will break anything;<br>

I see, you are thinking in something complex like this:<br>

But, perhaps, the following procedure is better for you. Change 0.6.34, 0.7.44, John Doe, and jdoe@jdoe.0 for your own values, and try this:<br>
<br>
sudo aptitutde -R install build-essential fakeroot devscripts wget<br>
test -x $HOME/tmp/ || mkdir -p $HOME/tmp/ && cd $HOME/tmp/<br>
wget -c <a href="http://sysoev.ru/nginx/nginx-0.7.44.tar.gz" target="_blank">http://sysoev.ru/nginx/nginx-0.7.44.tar.gz</a> # get latest nginx<br>
apt-get source nginx<br>
cd nginx-0.6.34<br>
uupdate -rfakeroot --upstream-version 0.7.44 ../nginx-0.7.44.tar.gz<br>
cd ../$(dpkg-parsechangelog | sed -n 's/^Source: //p')-0.7.44<br>
(export DEBFULLNAME='John Doe';export DEBEMAIL='jdoe@jdoe.0';debuild -i -us -uc -b)<br>
cd ..<br>

Rather boring, isn't it? It doesn't make it any easier to play around with nginx ./configure switches.<font color="#888888"></font></blockquote><div><br>As you well know (or should by your usage of devscripts), the configure switches are available for your editing in debian/rules. What does this have to do with excitement, anyway? In general, isn't boring good on production servers? <br>
<br>Ah well, it really doesn't matter. We've established that you think by-hand building and copying over of binaries without keeping up with the distrobution's audit trail is much more exciting, customizable, and faster than using the distrobution's tools which I happen to think is just as fast, easier to manage, and certainly boring -- I just like boring.<br>
<br>If I post in this thread again, I'll bring a makefile, maybe (then I can actually contribute something!)... until then, carry on, good Sirs!<br><br>- Merlin<br><br></div></div>
