NAME

       dpt-repack -- repackaging helper

SYNOPSIS

       dpt repack --upstream-version version downloaded file"

DESCRIPTION

       dpt repack helps creating repackaged tarballs, suitable for feeding dpkg-source(1).

       Work is commenced in three stages:

       •   dpt repack unpacks the provided upstream tarball.

       •   debian/repack.local is sourced to remove unsuitable content.

       •   dpt repack packs the sources again, under a suitable file name in the form
           "package_ver.orig.tar.gz" (suffix depending on initial compression).

       dpt repack invokes debian/repack.local in an environment where rm and mv are replaced with
       functions that reflect the operations in the MANIFEST file, if present.
