NAME

       dpatch-convert-diffgz - Convert a debian .diff.gz to a dpatch file

SYNOPSIS

       dpatch-convert-diffgz patchno patchname
       dpatch-convert-diffgz patchno_patchname

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly  the  dpatch-convert-diffgz  command  which  simply
       generates a dpatch file from an existing Debian .diff.gz file.

       It does so, by building the sources with dpkg-buildpackage, and operating on the resulting
       Debian .diff.gz.

WARNING

       dpatch  is  deprecated,  please  switch  to the `3.0 (quilt)' Debian source package format
       instead. See http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/DebSrc3.0#FAQ for a short guide on how to  do
       it.
