Ack! Google is giving me annoying animated graphic ads. I signed up for "text and image" ads, apparently they consider distracting animations to be an image.
I might mention that there are still some jpegs that will crash the quicktime encoder that are valid according to jpeginfo, but it gets most of them.
I just built dfu-programmer for etch with these steps, and attached it to the parent article (I guess I should implement attachments for comments.)
  1. Go to the Debian packages page for the Lenny package.
  2. Download the original source and debian diffs.
  3. Unpack the original sources
    tar -zxvf dfu-programmer_0.4.3.orig.tar.gz
  4. Apply debian patches... 
    zcat dfu-programmer_0.4.3-1.diff.gz | patch -p0
  5. Hop in
    cd dfu-programmer-0.4.3
  6. Build packages
    fakeroot ./debian/rules binary-arch
  7. Fail... fix x flags on rules
    chmod +x debian/rules
  8. Fail... install libusb-dev
  9. Success! I now have a dfu-programmer_0.4.3-1_i386.deb in the parent directory.
  10. I can't test it, my only Etch machines are remote servers, but it installs ok and I expect it works.
I probably should have modified the version number to mark it as an Etch build, but this works for private use.
hello

can you tell me how to install dfu-programmer on debian etch?
i can not find the package with apt.

greetings remo
I successfully started a converted windows vista evaulation vhd I'm still fighting with the mouse and vnc :)
the bsod is probably a 7b error (inaccessible boot device, you may need to fix system registry hive to use standard ide but it's tricky and you need a windows box or of course a working windows vm :D)

contact me if interested (sherpya@netfarm.it)

I've fixed the compilation error and made it 64bit aware, I still need to test it anyway here the download link:

http://oss.netfarm.it/download/vhd2img-64bit-aware.tar.bz2

(use wget or direct link, a link from a page will cause 503)

Hello again,

Well, err, uh, duh!  I poked around in the .c file and removed the whole license preamble then it compiled just fine.  Sorry about that.  It worked great but the resulting .raw and converted .qcow2 file give me a BSOD when run with kvm.

Thanks,
Patrick.
Hello Jim,

This looks like just what the doctor ordered but it failed to compile for me:

Did I do something wrong or do you have any suggestions to help fix it?

Thanks much,

Oh cruel Apple. 12 hours after releasing the Apple Store they processed my application and sent me a key to test on my iPhone.

Decisions.
