alright then, that makes it even simpler, thanks. what about the procedure for after the package is built? just notify someone "official" that it builds fine or what? thanks again John, you've been pretty quick and helpfully.

No need to chroot inside pbuilder... Just download a .dsc file from packages.ubuntu.com, and tell pbuilder to build it.... everything else is done automagically...

to ask. i jsut want to make sure i'm going about everything right.
for testing i backported deskbar-applet as follows, was just wondering
if i was missing anything or what not (i;m obviously new at packaging)
got my chroot via pbuilder.
login to the chroot.
apt-get build-dep deskbar-applet
apt-get source deskbar-applet (fetches all sources from dapper repos)
cd deskbar-applet-x.x/
dpkg-buildpackage -d
leaves me with the .deb, pending ant errors of course.
anything else? any suggestions? whats the procedure once the build
completes and everything works fine? just notify the list to have
someone "official" build it or what?
thanks for the help again.
