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'. - - -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@gnu.ai.mit.edu> Sat, 31 Aug 1996 |
