Re: Tutorial #2: using dpkg in user space

[Andreas Jellinghaus <aj@dungeon.inka.de>]

here is my tutorial of dsource, a 100% vaporware program.

$ mkdir ~/debian		# Choose where you want stuff
$ cd ~/debian			# alternative "echo root=~/dir > ~/.dsource"
$ dsource-ftp get hello
Connecting to my.ftp.server.
Changing Diretory to /debian/dist/stable/main/source
Downloading package hello ... dsc diff orig bindiff done
Checking source integrity of package hello ... ok
Done
$ ls -F
hello/
$ ls hello/
hello_1.3.orig.tar.gz
hello_1.3-1.diff.gz
hello_1.3-1.bindiff.tar.gz
hello_1.3-1.dsc
$ rm -rf ~/hello		# remove everything

other things i can do :
$ dsource build hello
Changing Directory to ~/debian/hello
Checking for unpacked source ... no
Checking source package integrity ... ok
Unpacking source with debian modifications ... done
Building source.
(lots of dpkg-buildpackage output)
Building source worked fine
$

adding source dependencies is possible.
