Here is my partial solution on how to do it automatically. You'll need to build-depends on dpatch for that, and modify debian/rules accordingly. Some packages use dpatch anyway. Note that this doesn't solves the missing version of the foo directory. I guess that one would have to tweak the dpkg-source command and do some shell trickery for that. Alternatively some command line parameters should be supplied. #! /bin/sh -e ## 01_testAndCreateOrigTarBall.dpatch ## ## All lines beginning with `## DP:' are a description of the patch. ## DP: test and create the .orig.tar.gz. Note that the upstream source ## is distributed as a .zip file. if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then echo "`basename $0`: script expects -patch|-unpatch as argument" >&2 exit 1 fi [ -f debian/patches/00patch-opts ] && . debian/patches/00patch-opts patch_opts="${patch_opts:--f --no-backup-if-mismatch} ${2:+-d $2}" case "$1" in -patch) [ ! -f ../inadyn*.orig.tar.gz ] && [ -f ../inadyn.*.zip ] && fakeroot debian/rules clean && cd .. && dpkg-source -b -su -W -Idebian inadyn inadyn ;; -unpatch) ;; *) echo "`basename $0`: script expects -patch|-unpatch as argument" >&2 exit 1;; esac exit 0 @DPATCH@ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
