[01:36] <sarnold> nelgin: grab the .dsc too, then you can use dpkg-source -x on that to unpack the source package properly. Then you can use what-patch from the devscripts package to figure out what kind of patch management system is used on the package, if any
[01:38] <sarnold> nelgin: then you can build the package, there's probably a dozen different ways to do that, debian/rules build  is i think the grossest but quickest approach, dpkg-buildpackage is probably a bit better, sbuild is a lot closer to the gold standard but takes some work to set up
[01:51] <nelgin> Thanks got it. It compiled and didn't work so I'm going back to rpi os lol.
[01:57] <sarnold> heh, bummer :(
[02:04] <nelgin> Trying to get libmoz-1.8.5 to work on Ubuntu on an rpi but no nice, tried several versions and even compiled my own. It just works fine on rpi os so a bit confused.
[02:19] <sarnold> oh wow, why such an old version?
[05:27] <nelgin> Because the newer versions don't integrate with c++ or something like that, the dev said. It's used for the Synchronet BBS.
