I have compiled my own woody backports, which I would be happy to
provide to anyone else. It was a fairly simple process.
1. Add "deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main"
to /etc/apt/sources.list.
2. apt-get update
3. apt-get build-dep drbd0.7-utils
4. apt-get source drbd0.7-utils
5. cd drbd-0.7.10
6. fakeroot debian/rules binary
And that is that. The build-dep doesn't seem to actually install every
package you need, so you may get errors during the build. It really
depends on what you've installed already. I had to grab gcc, fakeroot,
and libc6-dev.
For the kernel module, I tried the drbd0.7-module-source package but
never quite got it to work. Here's what I did instead. I'm using
kernel-image-2.4.18-686.
1. Install kernel-source-2.4.18
2. ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18 /lib/modules/2.4.18-686/build
3. cp /boot/config-2.4.18-686 /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.18/.config
4. Grab the 0.7.10 tarball
5. make
6. cp drbd/drbd.o /lib/modules/2.4.18-686/kernel/fs
7. depmod -a
I have mirrored this email on my blog and posted my backported packages
there as well. Comments welcome.
