Dear Faheem,

I recommend you to use svn-buildpackage to build the packages where we store
only the debian directory in our Subversion repository.  You can find some tips
and explanations in our group policy (and you can help us too improve it by
pointing at unclear or outdated sections, or proposing corrections).

I downloaded meme version 4.9.0 rc5, and could build it after the follwing
adjustments:

1) Correcting the no_libxml_configure patch

--- debian/patches/no_libxml_configure	(révision 12780)
+++ debian/patches/no_libxml_configure	(copie de travail)

  PARALLEL_DIR =

--SUBDIRS = filters libxml2 libxslt libexslt . $(PARALLEL_DIR)
-+SUBDIRS = filters libexslt . $(PARALLEL_DIR)
+-SUBDIRS = filters libxml2 libxslt libexslt wiggle . $(PARALLEL_DIR)
++SUBDIRS = filters libexslt wiggle . $(PARALLEL_DIR)

2) Temporarly commenting out perl-include.patch in debian/patches/series
   (the proper way is of course to update it).

3) In debian/meme.install, replacing all the lines mentionning programs
   in usr/bin/ by the wildcard usr/bin/*.  Some programs mentionned disapeared,
   I do not know if they were removed or if the package failed to build them
   with the 4.9.0 source.

Have a nice day,
