Hello everybody !

So this bug is fixed upstream for months and somebody
successfully compiled the bug-free upstream source.

I just would like to know how I (Etch *user*) could
compile from the upstream source to get a working
balsa. As a user, I don't know much about Debian
internals. Should I find somewhat balsa-2.3.8.deb.src
and balsa-2.3.12.src.tgz then "merge or replace" code
(how again ?) and run "make" or so ?

Or could a friendly Debian Gnome maintainer update
balsa in Etch with an (N)MU ?
Best Regards

PM
