so, you want to install via apt or dpkg?

i cannot yet help you make an APT repository, but I _may_ be able to help you
most of the way. if you follow these directions, you should have a functioning
debian package. having that package, you should be able to find some APT-HOWTOs
laying around the internet and create a repository for yourself.

please note: i have found it _very_ difficult to make debian packages
(when compared to other operating systems). the order in which things happen is
still not completely clear to me, so while I _think_ these instructions make a
functioning debian package, I could be very mistaken.

addendum: Toni Mueller pointed out that making debian packages isn't hard
at all. the debian toolchain does most of the work for you. I just happen
to have not used the debian toolchain.
	

# cp ldapdns.tgz ldapdns-2.00-8.tar.gz
# tar xzf ldapdns-2.00-8.tar.gz
# cd ldapdns-2.00-8
# ./debian/rules binary
# cd ..

you should know have an: ldapdns-2.00_8-1_i386.deb (or whatever platform you're
running on).

you cannot yet cross-compile ldapdns. if you want to do this, figure out how,
edit the debian/* and send me your changes.

you cannot yet configure ldapdns. see the remainder of the configuration guide,
OR hack this stuff into the debian/* tree.


I want to thank checkinstall/installwatch for teaching me more about debian
packages than the official debian maintainers faq :)
