Package: equivs
Version: 2.0.8
Severity: wishlist
I would like to be able to use `equivs-build` to generate the source
packages needed to upload to my Ubuntu PPA using the `dput` command.
I have attached a patch that modifies the `equivs-build` script to add a
new --source|-s parameter that mirrors the existing --full|-f parameter
except that it passes the -S parameter to dpkg-buildpackage, which then
generates the appropriate source output for PPAs.
I have also done my best to update the manpage and script documentation
to cover the new parameter, but I may be using incorrect terminology as
much of it is a modified copy of the documentation for --full.
If there are any changes you would like to see in how the feature is
handled, I will be glad to modify it as needed.
Cheers
