Rebuilding software in Ubuntu

Question

linux

Can you please tell a ubuntu newbie if it is possible to rebuild an application installed via apt-get? The meaning of the task is this: I installed nginx, you need to add a couple of modules to it that are not in the packages. Is it possible to rebuild nginx from those files that have already been downloaded for the initial installation. The point is to simplify the installation and make it possible to remove using the same aptitude.

I know that you can take sorts and reassemble even upside down, but that's not the point.

you can read a lot on this topic

Answer 3

I didn't do it that way, and I didn't think about it.
I just built my package from source and installed it on the system. Management also remained through the package manager.

Answer 4

compile, build into a deb package, install via dpkg.
