Debian GNU/Linux

To install djbdns on Debian you need to fetch (with apt for example) the packages "daemontools-installer" and "djbdns-installer". What this packages will do is fetch the source code, compile it, and create Debian packages both for daemontools and djbdns. After installing those packages, you can issue the commands "build-daemontools" and "build-djbdns" which will create the final debian packages and prompt for installation. Example:

apt-get update
apt-get install djbdns-installer daemontools-installer
build-daemontools
build-djbdns

Note that you may keep and reuse (just not redistribute) the debian packages created with the installer packages.
