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.
