Hi, In order to rebuild or patch a package, I sometimes have to download its source from a repository which is not on my APT sources list. I'm looking for a tool to make retrieving the source as easy as possible.
Until now, I have been using dget (from the devscripts package). With the URI of a .dsc file as its argument, dget will download all source files of a package (typically, .dsc, .diff.gz., and .orig.tar.gz). In order to use dget, I have to determine the .dsc file's URI, either by browsing the repository contents or by looking at the repository's control files. This task I would like to automate. Is there a tool that will determine the .dsc file's URI given the repository's base URI, the distribution name, and the package name? I guess it would have to download and parse the Source control files, ideally caching them for later use.
