Parameter to get sources with dget

[escherstair]

When I would like building a debian package, I can use dget command to ge the sources.
I would like having a parameter to specify that the sources to be built must be download with dget (instead of having them in the git repo).

I see that under the hood it uses torizon/build-deb-action, so probably some new parameters is needed there, before

@escherstair, our reusable workflow is based on jtdor/build-deb-action and it's crafted to build from the debianized (upstream code + debian dir) repo. Changing that would require a good amount of work and is not a need we have right now.

If you want to use it to build a package, you can always dget -x url/to/package.dsc, cd into the directory git add ., commit and then add this workflow. It should work correctly and build the package.

@charles2910 I jhad already added a request on the original jtdor/build-deb-action repo.
I don't expect that toradex takes care about such an implementation.
I think that using dget would be the most debianic way to get the sources of a debian package.

If you want to use it to build a package, you can always dget -x url/to/package.dsc, cd into the directory git add ., commit and then add this workflow. It should work correctly and build the package.

Is it possible to put the above steps in a github workflow?
Can you provide an example?
