1) dpkg: support dpkg -i foo.dsc, which unpacks the source to /usr/src/ or something 2) apt: parse Sources.gz and add them to architecture src, "apt-get install binutils:src" downloads the dsc, orig.tar, debian.tar, ... and then passes the dsc file to dpkg for installing 2b) fix other tools like pbuilder-satify-depends, sbuild, ... 3) Sources can use Build-Depends: binutils:src using the multiarch syntax to qualify archs MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
