How to create .diff.gz/.dsc/.orig.tar.gz from a downloaded tar.gz application?
Hello,
For my dpkg-scansources, it looks it does not recognize the *.tar.gz in the pool, hence we need to create those 3 files .diff.gz/.dsc/.orig.tar.gz to make deb-src working and to find sthg with
Quote:
apt-cache showsrc packagename
|
.
Could eventually dpkg-scansources works only with a single tar.gz ?
thanks

Well take it out of the pool and dry it off... poor thing must be half drowned!
Otherwise, what you have said makes no sense.
What are you trying, and what is the result?
Post the command and it's output.

I put lot of tar.gz in the pool folder, and If I type
Code:
$ dpkg-scansources pool
it only outputs the one with .dsc + .tar.gz
If no .dsc, then nothing

It worked like this, and created in the ../ a dsc file:
Code:
make clean ; DEBFULLNAME="Frenchn00b" ; export DEBFULLNAME ; dh_make -e frenchn00b@gmail.com -f ../mypackage.tar.bz2 ; dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
Dont know if it is really the best way...
