- HOW TO UNPACK A DEBIAN SOURCE PACKAGE
-
-There are two kinds of Debian source packages: old ones and new ones.
-
-A. Old ones look like this:
- hello-1.3-4.tar.gz
- hello-1.3-4.diff.gz
- You unpack them by untarring the .tar.gz. There is NO need to apply
- the diff.
-
-B. New ones look like this:
- hello_1.3-11.dsc
- hello_1.3-11.diff.gz
- hello_1.3-11.orig.tar.gz - note the `.orig' part
- Here you MUST use dpkg-source or apply the diff manually - see below.
-
- If you have `dpkg-source' you should put the files in the same
- directory and type `dpkg-source -x <whatever>.dsc'.
-
- If you do not you can extract the Debian source as follows:
- 1. untar P_V.orig.tar.gz.
- 2. rename the resulting P-V.orig directory to P-V. If some other
- directory results, rename *it* to P-V.
- 3. mkdir P-V/debian.
- 4. apply the diff with patch -p0.
- 5. do `chmod +x P-V/debian/rules'
- (where P is the package name and V the version.)
-
-C. There are some packages where the Debian source is the upstream
- source. In this case there will be no .diff.gz and you can just use
- the .tar.gz. If a .dsc is provided you can use `dpkg-source -x'.
