This package uses dpatch 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 get the fully patched source after unpacking the source package, cd
6
to the root level of the source package and run:
10
Removing a patch is as simple as removing its entry from the
11
debian/patches/00list file, and please also remove the patch file
14
Creating a new patch is done with "dpatch-edit-patch patch XX_patchname"
15
where you should replace XX with a new number and patchname with a
16
descriptive shortname of the patch. You can then simply edit all the
17
files your patch wants to edit, and then simply "exit 0" from the shell
18
to actually create the patch file.
20
To tweak an already existing patch, call "dpatch-edit-patch XX_patchname"
21
and replace XX_patchname with the actual filename from debian/patches
24
To clean up afterwards again, "debian/rules unpatch" will do the
25
work for you - or you can of course choose to call
26
"fakeroot debian/rules clean" all together.
