Thanks for this work! i was able to rebuild 4.0b8-1 from your diff with something like the following:
# fetch original sources and patch them: wget 'http://hea-www.harvard.edu/saord/download/ds9/source/ds9.4.0b8.tar.gz' wget 'http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi/saods9_4.0b8-1.diff.gz?bug=357123;msg=10;att=1' -O saods9_4.0b8-1.diff.gz tar xzf ds9.4.0b8.tar.gz cd saods9/ zcat ../saods9_4.0b8-1.diff.gz | patch -p1 # repack the dfsg tarball: sh ./debian/repack mv newsource/saods9_4.0b8.orig.tar.gz ../ # cleanup and rebuild from the dfsg tarball: cd .. rm -rf saods9 tar xvzf saods9_4.0b8.orig.tar.gz cd saods9-4.0b8.orig zcat ../saods9_4.0b8-1.diff.gz | patch -p1 debuild -uc -us sadly, 4.0b9 is now out upstream, so this is out-of-date again... Any chance of packaging for the new new version? Just running repack on 4.0b9 yielded a couple (minor) errors: find: ./saods9/funtools-1.3.0b9/: No such file or directory and cp: cannot stat `./tcl8.4.9/library/auto.tcl': No such file or directory (presumably because upstream has moved to funtools-1.3.0b21 and tcl8.4.12) However, i haven't tried rebuilding from this 4.0b9 setup yet (i don't understand debian/repack well enough to be confident i'm doing the right thing). One last thing: it occurred to me that might be nice to check the integrity of the downloaded tarball against an expected source. The following diffs (patch with -p2) should enable a simple integrity check with sha1sum: diff -ruN 4.0b8/saods9-4.0b8.orig/debian/sha1sums/4.0b8 4.0b9/saods9-4.0b9/debian/sha1sums/4.0b8 --- 4.0b8/saods9-4.0b8.orig/debian/sha1sums/4.0b8 1969-12-31 19:00:00.000000000 -0500 +++ 4.0b9/saods9-4.0b9/debian/sha1sums/4.0b8 2006-05-10 15:26:50.426016768 -0400 @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +dc05eaab2f149eb43219132013ae9d7767ec58a4 ds9.4.0b8.tar.gz diff -ruN 4.0b8/saods9-4.0b8.orig/debian/sha1sums/4.0b9 4.0b9/saods9-4.0b9/debian/sha1sums/4.0b9 --- 4.0b8/saods9-4.0b8.orig/debian/sha1sums/4.0b9 1969-12-31 19:00:00.000000000 -0500 +++ 4.0b9/saods9-4.0b9/debian/sha1sums/4.0b9 2006-05-10 15:26:51.287902740 -0400 @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +eca4913b24e64c28089b4e0ac5486e2db4d766eb ds9.4.0b9.tar.gz diff -ruN 4.0b8/saods9-4.0b8.orig/debian/repack 4.0b9/saods9-4.0b9/debian/repack --- 4.0b8/saods9-4.0b8.orig/debian/repack 2006-05-10 15:20:38.281944856 -0400 +++ 4.0b9/saods9-4.0b9/debian/repack 2006-05-10 15:27:15.251732254 -0400 @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ set -e; -ver="4.0b8"; +ver="4.0b9"; tarball="http://hea-www.harvard.edu/saord/download/ds9/source/ds9.$ver.tar.gz";; base=$(basename "$tarball"); orig="saods9_$ver.orig.tar.gz"; @@ -24,6 +24,11 @@ wget "$tarball"; fi; +if ( ! sha1sum --status -c ../debian/sha1sums/$ver ); then + echo "the upstream tarball does not match the expected checksum!" + exit 1 +fi + tar xzf "$base"; find ./saods9/ -name config.status |xargs rm -f; find ./saods9/ -name conf.h |xargs rm -f; Of course, this integrity check doesn't account for the integrity of anything drawn from starlink CVS...
