What I need is a simple way to rebuild packages without having to dig into details, basically apt-get build-dep <package> apt-get source <package> rpm -U package.src.rpm edit package.spec [rebuild package] This even works sufficiently well on underpowered machines with low bandwidth connections, and is much less resource demanding than yum is.
