+===== Build MariaDB with readline support =====
+I've been frustrated with the use of editline (libedit) instead of readline that MariaDB is now built with in Debian 11. I have found editline to be buggy: its implementation of Ctrl-R and editing of wrapped lines do not work well, plus Ctrl-W not being mapping to delete a word by default is infuriating!
+As I understand it, Debian is no longer able to distribute MariaDB built against readline as the former is GPL2 and the latter GPL3, and apparently the 2 are incompatible for distribution. So I have written instructions for [[how to rebuild MariaDB against readline in Debian]].
+===== Building packages from later versions of Debian for earlier releases =====
+I had a problem recently whereby [[https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=982998|a bug]] was fixed in a testing version of Debian (Bookworm) but had not been released to the current stable version (Bullseye). I decided to build the Bookworm version of the package for Bullseye:
+  apt-get install dpkg-dev devscripts
+  vim /etc/apt/sources.list # Enable source packages
+  apt-get update
+  apt source chkrootkit
+  apt build-dep chkrootkit
+  cd chkrootkit-0.55
+  dch --bpo # Update package version so as not to conflict
+  debuild -uc -us
+==== Example: building openarc package from experimental ====
+Add experimental sources to ''/etc/apt/sources.list'':
+  deb-src http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib
+  apt-get build-dep openarc
+  apt-get source openarc
+  cd openarc-1.0.0~beta3+dfsg/
+  cd debian/patches
+  wget https://github.com/trusteddomainproject/OpenARC/pull/167.patch
+  wget https://github.com/trusteddomainproject/OpenARC/pull/168.patch
+  wget https://github.com/trusteddomainproject/OpenARC/pull/170.patch
+  dch --bpo # Add letter to suggested version
+  debuild -uc -us
