One way is to go to the website http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages .
And download and look at the diff.gz source code for the specific package.

If you want to know the compile-options for eg cowsay: 'apt-get source
cowsay' then go to the debian dir that has been created
(./cowsay-/debian) and check out the rules file, that's where they
are stored/set IMHO.

Determinig configure options in .debs

2003-01-14 Thread Myke Place 
Hello all,

I think this might be impossible, but I thought I'd get some additional 
opnions before writing it off. Does anybody know of a way to determine 
what configure options were used to build a debian package, outside of 
e-mailing the maintainer and asking directly?
