NAME


customdeb - Customizes a binary debian package

SYNOPSIS


customdeb file.cdeb [package.deb]

Applies the changed specified in the file file.cdeb to the package file specified on the
command line. If no package file was passed, it downloads the latest package with dget.

DESCRIPTION


DIRECTORIES

The created package will be saved in the output/ subdirectory of the current directory. A
dlcache/ directory will be created as well, to prevent repeated downloads of the same
file. It can, however, be deleted without problems.

FILE FORMAT

The cdeb file should be in a RFC822-like format, commonly used in Debian for almost
everything: Field names and values are separated by a colon (":"). Lines starting with a
blank are just appended to their previous line's value. Lines that contain only a period
(".") in them will become an empty line in the output. Empty lines are ignored. Comments
are allowed - All characters after a # sign until the end of the line are ignored. If you
need to include the # sign, prepend it with another #. Also see Parse::DebControl.

The first stanza of the file specifies general information on the package and the changes.
This is followed by any number of change stanzas, described as below. The changes are
applied in the order of their appearance in the cdeb file.

Files:

overwriting files there). This happens before any of modification stanzas are
executed.

Default: None
