Building an i686 debian sarge iso ? is it possible ? i just want the first 2 cds to be i686 packages ?
how can i rebuild my debian system after install the i386 debs to be i686 ?
how can i make distro rebuild ?
and how to grep the debs after this and put them into one iso ? or other way to do it ? ?
how can i use pbuilder ?
p.s. apt-build makes problems for me

It's pointless since you won't gain much. Install libc6-i686 from the Debian repositories if you need 2% speed improvement.

I have compiled packages for i686 and never really noticed any improvements. It's a waste of your time, really. Don't go there, stop now, I'm not kidding.

Exactly. I agree. Why do people want to spend days on end compiling Gentoo? You won't notice any speed difference.

hm its nice to have peoples like you

another question :
where can i find a nice and little doc for creating deb packages ?

another question :
i found this tutorial for creating deb responsy
dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip -9c > Packages.gz
dpkg-scansources . /dev/null | gzip -9c > Sources.gz

when i am in the deb packages dir right ?
why is this dev null and this . ( dot )

another thing is that this tutorials says after create a responsy users must add this lines

deb http://www.SomeURLBla.com/apt ./
deb-src http://www.SomeURLBla.com/apt ./

is this ./ for the dot beffore ?
and why is this /apt ?

Is a good starting point for packaging.

Thanx for the tip................I always feel the need for speed....

oki i readed this but after creating the control file what i must do ?
what to put in the BUILDDIR to start building the deb package with the command :
dpkg -b directory packagename.deb

I think you don't want to build packages, but built them from the Debian source, right? No need for control files then.

Place deb files into a directory and run:
find . -name '*.deb' > overridefile
dpkg-scanpackages . overridefile | gzip > Packages.gz

Add the directory to the sources.list:
deb file:///path/to/debs ./
apt-get update && install [packagename]

To built packages in the directory, go to the directory and run:
apt-get -b source [packagename]

Remember to add source addresses to the sources.list (deb-src) and read about APT-Pinning to prevent upgrades from overwriting your self-compiled packages.

You also need to export the proper gcc flags before compiling or it will make no difference at all.

the post before with the control file was for only the source packages not debian source packages
i download somethink.tar.gz
creating CONTROL file
and then what
