NAME

       dscextract - extract a single file from a Debian source package

SYNOPSIS

       dscextract [options] dscfile file

DESCRIPTION

       dscextract  reads  a  single  file  from  a  Debian  source  package.   The idea is to only look into .diff.gz files (source format 1.0) or
       .debian.tar.gz/bz2 files (source format 3.0) where possible, hence avoiding to unpack large tarballs.  It is most useful for files  in  the
       debian/ subdirectory.

       file is relative to the first level directory contained in the package, i.e. with the first component stripped.

OPTIONS

       -f     "Fast"  mode.  For source format 1.0, avoid to fall back scanning the .orig.tar.gz file if file was not found in the .diff.gz.  (For
              3.0 packages, it is assumed that debian/* are exactly the contents of debian.tar.gz/bz2.)

EXIT STATUS

       0      file was extracted.

       1      file was not found in the source package.

       2      An error occurred, like dscfile was not found.

EXAMPLE

       dscextract dds_2.1.1+ddd105-2.dsc debian/watch || test $? = 1

NAME

       pull-debian-source - download and extract a source package from Debian

SYNOPSIS

       pull-debian-source [options] <source package> [release|version]

DESCRIPTION

       pull-debian-source downloads and extracts the specified version of source package, or the latest version in the specified Debian release.

       pull-debian-source  will  try  the preferred mirror, default mirror, security mirror, and fall back to Launchpad or snapshot.debian.org, in
       search of the requested version.

OPTIONS

       source package
	      The source package to download from Debian.

       release

       -d, --download-only
	      Do not extract the source package.

       -m DEBIAN_MIRROR, --mirror=DEBIAN_MIRROR
	      Use the specified mirror.  Should be in the  form  http://ftp.debian.org/debian.	 If  the  package  isn't  found  on  this  mirror,
	      pull-debian-source will fall back to the default mirror.

       -s DEBSEC_MIRROR, --security-mirror=DEBSEC_MIRROR
	      Use  the	specified  mirror.   Should  be  in  the  form	http://security.debian.org.   If  the  package isn't found on this mirror,
	      pull-debian-source will fall back to the default mirror.

       -h, --help
	      Display the usage instructions and exit.
