Yes.  $HOME/src/huskylib/debian/

How?

How?  I've been using Ubuntu for about 3 weeks.  My Linux knowledge is
pretty weak.  Most of my UNIX knowledge is from running FreeBSD for the
past 10 years.

They're recent CVS snapshots, but I'm not sure how recent.

18:09 fidonet{at}prime [~/src/huskylib]make -n clean
rm -f *
rm -f libhusky.1.9
rm -f libhusky

You have to admit, that's pretty stupid.
