Hi all,<br>
<br>
There is a patch which is supposed to fix a bug on my Myth system so<br>
that I can run 0.22. The dev who has made the patch wants users to<br>
test the patch before it gets committed to trunk. So I'd like to<br>
compile Myth with the patch and test it.<br>
<br>
Now I know most people would say run configure, make and make install<br>
but I have come to dislike this method as it can be hard to uninstall<br>
an application when done in this fashion. So I'd like to make<br>
packages if possible.<br>
<br>
So what I've done is downloaded the source code from the Ubuntu<br>
repositories which has the Debian rules etc in it to make deb packages<br>
using 'apt-get source mythtv'. I then manually edited the appropriate<br>
source file with the recommended patch (I gave up trying to apply it<br>
as a patch in /debian/patches). I then want to run 'dpkg-buildpackage<br>
-us -uc -rfakeroot' but it complains about a missing dependency. The<br>
dependency relates to nvidia-185-vdpau-dev. I'm currently running<br>
nvidia 195 from JYA's repository.<br>
<br>
My question is, if I have the dev package installed from JYA's repo,<br>
can I just add the '-d' switch to my dpkg-package command to force it<br>
to ignore the missing dependency? Note I have already done this and<br>
it seemed to produce the myth packages but I wanted to check before I<br>
tried installing them.<br>
<br>
Hope someone can advise.<br>
<br>
