Hi, I've been reading the man pages on dpkg & dpkg-deb to find out if it's possible to covert the deb source directory:
foo-x.y.z.orig debian-dir with all the patches upstream-source-dir to a source tar ball with all patches applied? dpkg & dpkg-deb man pages talk about build rules being applied but the result is still a deb. I guess I could manually try to extract the patches from the files in debian dir but for the package in question there are quite a few. Is there a tool to just apply the patches to the upstream source so I could then tar ball it? TIA scott [EMAIL PROTECTED]
