What O/S have you tested it on? which versions of debian are you interested in? I note that the script repeatedly requests superuser privileges (via sudo) -- this isn't something i'd normally test-run because of that, so i just did a read-through review > sudo apt-get source $PKG there's no need to run apt-get source as the superuser -- better to run it as the non-privileged account. > sudo apt-get build-dep $PKG this is reasonable, but you might also want to make sure the host has the following packages installed for building most packages -- they're just handy to have around: build-essential, fakeroot, devscripts, debhelper > sudo chown $ME:$ME $PKGVER-$DEBVER.diff.gz > sudo chown $ME:$ME $PKGVER.orig.tar.gz > sudo chown $ME:$ME $PKGVER-$DEBVER.dsc > sudo chown -R $ME:$ME $PKGVER2 these shouldn't be necessary if you run apt-get source as the regular user. The rest of the script looks reasonable to me as a terse distillation of what we did (though the ls|rev|cut|cut|rev lines look like some wicked sorcery to me and i confess i haven't spent the time to understand them!) The specific tools we went over were crucial components of the discussion we had, and i think this script covers many of them. But i think the *concepts* covered were in some ways more important than the specific tools -- ideas like suites, architectures, bug reports, etc. will all be relevant on into the future, even if you ultimately find different tools or techniques for doing what we talked about. Thanks for writing this up and posting it, Kevin! --dkg
