Hi everyone,
Is there any easy method to get all the *source* packages which are
the
build dependency of one package?
What I want to do is building dpkg from source on a CLFS[0] system.
So I
have to get all the dpkg's dependency source packages and the dependency
of
dependency and so on...
I look into auto-apt, apt-get builddep. Both of them install the
binary
packages to fulfill the dependency, not downloading the source packages.
It's crazy to download all dependent source packages of dpkg, right?
Any
suggestion is welcomed!

For those don't know clfs, just think a CLFS system as a minimal
linux
system without debianization.

It is crazy. Or at least in general you can not build a source package
without having a full build chroot with binaries already. Just the
sources for a minimla build chroot are 800MB already and, last I
checked, which is a few years back, include latex and X. Adding all
the sources for the Build-Depends of those probably doubles the size
again.
Just build (c)debootstrap manually or use the static one and create a
build chroot from debs.
Hi Goswin.
debootstrap will just install the binaries. However, what I want is
building binaries on my own. The reason I want to do this is I want to port
Debian to different arch(MIPS III and loongson 2F), considering there're
only mips and mipsel port in Debian archive now.
