I'm not sure if they will wedge something like that in the future versions of APT. It has not been tested at all, just in case if someone is interested in. #!/bin/bash # store sources in some temporary dir SRCDIR=SOURCES if [ -d $SRCDIR ]; then cd $SRCDIR # clean it ? rm -rf * else mkdir $SRCDIR cd $SRCDIR fi # let's see what's new in the archive, # make sure you have deb-src lines in sources.list apt-get update # get local selections dpkg --get-selections | grep -w 'install' | \ awk '{print $1}' > ../selections.tmp # fetch them 1 by 1 from the archive and build for I in `cat ../selections.tmp`; do # we need to prepare Build-Depends (from control file) # to satisfy the compile conditions apt-get build-deb $I; # now it's safe to build the package in question apt-get -b source $I; # MAKE SURE NOT TO SPAM HDD !!! # clean sources after each build ??? rm -rf * done Please don't complain to me if encounter bugs, I don't care if all your data go to /dev/null , use it at your own risk :) . And of cource it would be nice if someone spend some time to enhanced it :))) ----- End forwarded message ----- -- PGP Fingerprint: B9F1 6CF3 47C4 7CD8 D33E 70A9 A3B9 1945 67EA 951D PGP Public Key: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
