Hi, here's one: dget http://ymir.twb.ath.cx/tmp/midori_0.1.2+94-1.dsc Basically you can make a quilt package (with no patches) by just adding "Format: 3.0 (quilt)" to the source stanza of an existing package. That's what I've done above. The dpkg-source(1) manpage describes the various 3.0 variants. Basically the difference is that there's a tarball containing debian/ rather than a diff that creates it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
