I can get source packages using apt-get source , but there a way to do this using aptitude ?
Also I downloaded the .deb package for python2.6 using aptitude and then unzipped it using ar.
aptitude download python2.6
ar xv python2.6_2.6.5-1ubuntu6_i386.deb
I also downloaded the python source using apt-get
sudo apt-get source python2.6
The contents of both the downloads are different. Why ?
aptitude download python2.6retrieves the binary package forpython2.6.apt-get source python2.6retrieves the source package that generates the binary packagepython2.6.Source downloads will include the original source tarball, the debian diff and the signed certificate file.
