You'd probably have to download the .deb sources for the later packages in Debian testing, and rebuild them on you're Etch box. I've attached some scripts (you might need to modify) which I used to fetch the required things when I built a derivative of the Debian packages for use here. You'll need to modify the unpack.sh and build.sh script, or at least do carry out the steps in there manually. (As you're not building the -1CUED1 modified version). Since the dependancies don't change much between versions, you can "apt-get install build-dep geda-..." for the versions you have now, and that should probably give you enough development tools and library headers to build the newer pacakges. apt-get install build-essential Might be needed first, then: apt-get install build-dep libgeda geda-gschem geda-gattrib geda-gnetlist .... Then deal with the process of unpacking and building the sources downloaded.. Unpack: dpkg-source -x geda-....dsc Build: cd geda-.... dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot If all goes well, you'll end up with .deb packages in the dir where all the sources packages were downloaded (cd ..) You need to build geda-symbols, and libgeda first, then apt-get install those (possibly including the libgeda-common.... deb) first, before you can successfully build the rest of the suite.
