How to explode DEBian package file.

I wrote this because My senior need to get uwsgi ( newer version ) than registered in precise repos. At that time we found great guy Chris Lea (https://launchpad.net/~chris-lea/+archive/uwsgi), thank chris :). But if we don't found him. I plan to explode current debian version from precise repos to see the structure and all script. Here is how to do that

 Get one (deb pkg) i assume uwsgi-current.deb

 1. The first way

 Using dpkg-deb -x , you will get inside debian structure.
> dpkg-deb -x uwsgi-current.deb [target-folder]

 Using dpkg-deb --control , you will get control files, debian control scripts.
> dpkg-deb --control uwsgi-current.deb [target-folder]/DEBIAN

 2. The second way,  the first way can be done in short time in 
> dpkg-deb -R uwsgi-current.deb [target-folder]

Difference between apt-get update and apt-get dis-upgrade

The “sudo apt-get upgrade” isn’t necessary. It’s a different type of upgrade from “dist-upgrade” You either run one or the other. “apt-get upgrade” will only update your existing packages while “apt-get dist-upgrade” will update your existing packages, remove obsolete packages and install new available packages as well. You can get breakages either way since new packages might be required as dependencies for upgraded packages in the case of “sudo apt-get upgrade” so using “apt-get dist-upgrade” is still the best way so far. Note: This only applies to LMDE since LMDE is a true rolling release. For any other flavor of Mint you’d use MintUpdate levels 1, 2 and 3 all the way. Perhaps someday Clem and Co. will figure out how to tailor MintUpdate so it works properly in LMDE but considering the rolling aspect of LMDE, I’m at a loss as to how theyn would do that. ref http://b10gger.wordpress.com/2011/03/20/difference-between-apt-get-upgrade-and-apt-get-dist-upgrade/ (thank for this website)
