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.
