I have to compile many packages from source because some of my patches are not applied upstream. So I download the source package (dsc, diff.gz & tar.gz), dpkg-source it, apply my patches, dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot, install it and mark it for hold so when upgrading a newer version isn't installed.
I'd like to have this process automated as much as possible so I'd like to have the source packages I need downloaded when there are new versions and the old sources removed (as I won't use them anymore) So I have, in a folder, something like: glibc_2.3.2.ds1-16.diff.gz glibc_2.3.2.ds1-16.dsc glibc_2.3.2.ds1.orig.tar.gz and just running a command have that files upgraded to the latest version. Is there a command to do that? What about automating the whole process as much as possible? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
