hi, can we modify a debian source and rebuild it easily.
For really simplistic modifications, check out the "dpkg-repack" command (and package).. from the man page:
dpkg-repack creates a .deb file out of a Debian package that has already been installed on your system. If any changes have been made to the package while it was unpacked (ie, files in /etc modified), the new
package will inherit the changes.
This utility can make it easy to copy packages from one
computer to
another, or to recreate packages that are installed on your
system, but
no longer available elsewhere.
have you any pointer on this or recommendation Cedric Briner P.-S. if you are interested why I'd like to do this check the following. I have to take care of 30 debian station, and this will grow up.I was thinking of using apt-get upgrade to propagate my configuration files to my stations.eg. you want to use cupssys. so you change the: /etc/cups/cupsd.conf /etc/cups/printers.conf /etc/cups/ppd/*.ppd files apt-get source cupssys report the cupsd.conf printers.conf and *.ppd on the source rebuild the package push it to your local repository and ask your machine to automatically update from this repository. no??? any better idea
