Using binutils' ar should be considered supported, and works fine with dpkg-deb and dpkg, the accepted format is documented in deb(5). I'd consider any program not following that to be either somewhat buggy, or special purpose (for example dak only accepts a subset of a valid deb format). thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
