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