Hi,

I recently built some debs for ubuntu lucid like so:

apt-get source couchdb
tar -zxf apache-couchdb-1.0.2.tar.gz=20
mv apache-couchdb-1.0.2/ couchdb-1.0.2
cd couchdb-1.0.2
cp -a ../couchdb-0.10.0/debian .
dch -i
cd debian/patches
rm COUCHDB-413-missing-couchspawnkillable.patch fix-help2man.patch =
http-redirect-query-string-fix.patch icu-config.patch=20
cd ..
debuild -b

I deleted those patches because they failed to apply cleanly against the =
1.0.2 source and I simply didn't have time to check if they were still =
required - I figured that all my source builds of vanilla 1.0.2 were =
fine so I could probably live without them. The emitted debs passed all =
the tests in futon so I think it's okay. YMMV!

dch and debuild are provided in the 'devscripts' package.=20

'dch' bumps the version and changelog entry.=20
'debuild -b' builds binary packages only.

Im happy to send you those debs if you would like them?

Cheers
H
