</span><br style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;">apt-get source mythtv</span><br style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;">apt-get build-dep mythtv</span><br style="font-style: italic;">
<span style="font-style: italic;">cd mythtv-*</span><br style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;">#make some changes</span><br style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;">debchange --nmu
</span><br style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;">fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage</span><br><br>What's the "debchange --nmu" and "dpkg-buildpackage" do?<br><br>This is totally different than SVN, this is pulling down the source from RPM's is that correct?
