Description-en: Rebuild Debian packages from source code
This is a simple tool which is designed to allow a local
administrator to rebuild individual Debian packages from
their source code.
.
With the aid of a few included wrapper scripts this allows
automatically rebuilding a package and all its dependencies.
.
Note: This software is not designed to enhance your installation
by producing optimized binaries, however this may be achieved
with the aid of companion packages such as 'pentium-builder',
or 'athlon-builder'.
.
The prime purpose of this package is to ease the testing of
compiler patches such as the Stack Smashing Protection patch
available from IBM.
