How does this differ from dpkg-repack? # apt-cache show dpkg-repack Package: dpkg-repack Priority: optional Section: admin Installed-Size: 60 Maintainer: Joey Hess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: all Version: 1.20 Depends: perl, dpkg-dev Filename: pool/main/d/dpkg-repack/dpkg-repack_1.20_all.deb Size: 10758 MD5sum: 601dbdd19da0ebee23774d222e1a1000 Description: puts an unpacked .deb file back together dpkg-repack creates a .deb file out of a debian package that has already been installed. If any changes have been made to the package while it was unpacked (ie, files in /etc were modified), the new package will inherit the changes. . This utility can make it easy to copy packages from one computer to another, or to recreate packages that are installed on your system, but no longer available elsewhere, or to store the current state of a package before you upgrade it. -- Hubert Chan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
