deb-modifier

automated scripts to assist with modifying .deb packages

extract.sh

usage: ./extract.sh <exact package name>

This won't run if files already exist in a folder matching the package name, or if the package name is not found in the current apt sources. Current, original files are extracted to <name>/original/ and left for reference. The files you should modify are in <name>/output/.

compact.sh

usage: ./compact.sh <name>

This packs the files from <name>/output/ into a .deb package at <name>/output/out.deb
