Package: debian-builder Version: 1.3-5 Severity: wishlist
This may be a problem more with "apt-get source package-name" but when I had troubles with my internet connection whilst downloading the source package for xfree86 and had to restart debian-builder, the partially downloaded source files were re-fetched from the start of files instead of resuming from where they left off. Is there any reasonable way to resume an "apt-get source" using partially downloaded source files? Could the debian-builder script also check the return status of the "apt-get source package-name" call and *not* delete the .dsc and .diff.gz files unless "apt-get source packagename" succeeds? I worked around this problem by using curl -C to manually download the missing fragments of source package files, then ran "dpkg-source -x packagename.dsc", and re-running an edited version of debian-builder.
