This package uses quilt to manage all modifications to the upstream
2
source. Changes are stored in the source package as diffs in
3
debian/patches and applied during the build.
5
To configure quilt to use debian/patches instead of patches, you want
6
either to export QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches in your environment
7
or use this snippet in your ~/.quiltrc:
9
for where in ./ ../ ../../ ../../../ ../../../../ ../../../../../; do
10
if [ -e ${where}debian/rules -a -d ${where}debian/patches ]; then
11
export QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches
15
To get the fully patched source after unpacking the source package, cd to
16
the root level of the source package and run:
20
The last patch listed in debian/patches/series will become the current
23
To add a new set of changes, first run quilt push -a, and then run:
27
where <patch> is a descriptive name for the patch, used as the filename in
28
debian/patches. Then, for every file that will be modified by this patch,
33
before editing those files. You must tell quilt with quilt add what files
34
will be part of the patch before making changes or quilt will not work
35
properly. After editing the files, run:
39
to save the results as a patch.
41
Alternately, if you already have an external patch and you just want to
42
add it to the build system, run quilt push -a and then:
44
quilt import -P <patch> /path/to/patch
47
(add -p 0 to quilt import if needed). <patch> as above is the filename to
48
use in debian/patches. The last quilt push -a will apply the patch to
49
make sure it works properly.
51
To remove an existing patch from the list of patches that will be applied,
56
You may need to run quilt pop -a to unapply patches first before running
added
