dpt-repack.sh1
Repackaging helper (deprecated)
Usage
dpt repack.sh
--upstream-version
version
downloaded-file
Overview
dpt repack.sh helps creating repackaged tarballs, suitable for feeding into dpkg-source(1). This command is deprecated in favor of the functionality provided by uscan(1) in conjunction with the Files-Excluded stanza in debian/copyright.
Work is commenced in three stages:
- •
-
dpt repack.sh unpacks the provided upstream tarball.
- •
-
debian/repack.local is sourced to remove unsuitable content.
- •
-
dpt repack.sh packs the sources again, under a suitable file name in the form
"package_ver.orig.tar.gz"(suffix depending on initial compression).
dpt repack.sh invokes debian/repack.local in an environment where rm and mv are replaced with functions that reflect the operations in the MANIFEST file, if present.
