Dear Gerhard and Dear Colleagues,

  Many thanks for your message.
Let me be clear that I do not have any idea of maintaining the deb packages for root. However, since I think that they constitute an immense repository of "software" wisdom, I humbly try to get science students to have just a crude idea of how powerful they can be by having them on a live system that they can try and install very easily on their computers.
  As you said PAIPIX is based on knoppix that is not vanilla Debian and therefore should not be used as default to build the root debian packages but rather as "double check" that everything is working fine. My only purpose is rather to try to help the root "make debian" to be as powerful and complete as possible.
  I would be happy to pick the compiled debian packages from an existing repository. However, it should be complete. My compilation includes the following packages that include much more than what is available in the repository that you have mentioned.
These packages were produced by getting the code form cvs head (today) as you suggested :
cvs -z3 checkout -r HEAD root
and correcting the
1 - the libafterimage-dev dependency in the build/package/lib/makebuilddepend.sh file. (We are almost there.) 2 - Another subsisting problem is that the debian/rules for cleaning remove the test/Makefile which is necessary to build the examples in the test directory. This makefile does not get installed and I think it should.

The obtained packages are:

ttf-root_5.01.01-1_all.deb
libroot_5.01.01-1_i386.deb libroot-dev_5.01.01-1_i386.deb

root_5.01.01-1_all.deb                  root-plugin-mysql_5.01.01-1_i386.deb
root-bin_5.01.01-1_i386.deb             root-plugin-netx_5.01.01-1_i386.deb
root-cint_5.01.01-1_i386.deb            root-plugin-pgsql_5.01.01-1_i386.deb
root-doc_5.01.01-1_all.deb              root-plugin-proof_5.01.01-1_i386.deb
root-plugin-asimage_5.01.01-1_i386.deb 
root-plugin-pythia6_5.01.01-1_i386.deb
root-plugin-fumili_5.01.01-1_i386.deb   
root-plugin-python_5.01.01-1_i386.deb
root-plugin-gl_5.01.01-1_i386.deb       root-plugin-quadp_5.01.01-1_i386.deb
root-plugin-hbook_5.01.01-1_i386.deb    root-plugin-xml_5.01.01-1_i386.deb
root-plugin-krb5_5.01.01-1_i386.deb     root-proofd_5.01.01-1_i386.deb
root-plugin-ldap_5.01.01-1_i386.deb     root-rootd_5.01.01-1_i386.deb

root-plugin-minuit_5.01.01-1_i386.deb root-xrootd_5.01.01-1_i386.deb root-plugin-mlp_5.01.01-1_i386.deb

All the best,
