Any chance of you sharing that script? I can figure out how to do it manually eventually, but if nothing else it would make both learning and doing easier.

I got to the point where I can unpack the control.tar.gz, and I know how to use vi or anything else to edit the control file specifically. That's pretty obvious, naturally. However, am I supposed to be editing the osso-wlan control file? Or is this a procedure I'm supposed to do on the future control files of packages that conflict with the updated osso-wlan?

I don't see anything in the depends file that would break future compatibility in the osso-wlan .deb included with lxp's driver/kernel, so I'm guessing you meant editing the future files that object to this package? If so, is there a way to just edit the files in the osso-wlan fix .deb? Could it be as simple as changing the package name or version in the control file, and/or renaming the .deb?

(Looking over this thead for your previous post on the subject now to see if answers this or gives any hints from which I can figure this out.)

- Edit -

NVM on the what-to-edit part. Your last post said that.

So, can I just re-tar, re-gzip, and then re-ar the files back together now that I've edited the control file?
