OK. Please describe the files you think make up the source package. You should have (for some value of foo): - a foo-1.dsc file - a foo-1.diff.gz file - an foo.orig.tar.gz file To unpack this source package, you issue the command: dpkg-source -x foo-1.dsc This unpacks the whole thing into ./foo/: The .orig.tar.gz and the .diff.gz applied to it. In order to construct the dsc/diff, you: 1) Make the .orig.tar.gz 2) unpack it manually into ./foo/ 3) Add the directory ./foo/debian/ and its contents 4) Run "debuild -S" -- Lionel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
