[debian-mysql] MySQL 5.1.26 release

[Mariella Petrini]

Hi,

I would like to ask one more question, please, related to building Debian packages for mysql 5.1.
I am not very familiar with building Debian packages.

I would like to take the source code of some version of MySQL (e.g. MySQL 5.1.26), make some modifications and build the .deb package (e.g. mysql-server-5.1_5.1.26rc-1_amd64.deb).
I would like not to use the apt-build, etc.., but I would rather use the 
dh_.... tools.

I have tried to download the mysql-5.1.26 source tar ball,
 add the debian directory (containing all the control files, etc...) 
that is available for mysql server 5.1 through 
svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-mysql/tags/5.1.26rc-1, 
but I run into errors when I try to run the 

 debian/rules build


What am I doing wrong ?
Could you please help ?


Thanks in advance for your help.
I look forward to hearing from you,



Mariella
