how to abtain only the debian directory of a package
Hello, I would
like to get only the debian directory of a package, in order to build locally a set of packages.
My tools are for now, the dht programm from pkg-haskell-tools.
This tool expect a flat directory organized like this p/<package>/debian
It then create the dsc file from this and build all the .deb files, taking care of the dependency in order to build everythings via sbuild.
I like the simplicity of this and the fact that it is really easy to deploy, especially since sbuild use unshare.
It works very whell for the build part.
Now, I `just` need to maintain this flat package organisation.
So I started by providing to our users a file 'package' which describe the set of package expected., like this
# version package
testing ufo-core
unstable ufo-filters
git pyfai http://salsa.debian.org/science-team/pyfai <subfolder>
...
In the futur I would like to add also other sources for packages like pip or something else.
Then I just need to write something which can parse this file and put the right p/<package>/debian files depending of the user information.
So to start with, I just want to get the debian directory of the testing/unstable version of package.
How can I get this without downloading a full debian source package ?
thanks for your help
Frederic.
