Hi,
apt-get --only-source --download-only source <package>
will download the latest version of the source package.
Is there a one liner that will give me the version of the package
(including the epoch) without downloading the package and parsing the
dsc?
If you are not opposed to installing the devscripts package, then you
can do this:
$ rmadison -u debian -a source -s unstable firefox-esr
firefox-esr | 91.10.0esr-1 | unstable | source
Thanks! And that has given me another hint:

That shouldn't be too hard to parse.
I didn't know what madison was but I recalled seeing it in the manpage.
I'll need to investigate rmadison. Might be just what I need assuming it
can also support my local repo. Doesn't honour my apt proxy setting so
doesn't work out of the box for me.
Tim.
