Patches are stored in -debian/patches and their filenames usually end in .patch or .diff . -For further details, see the man page for cdbs-edit-patch. - -All commands described below should be run from the top directory of the -package source tree, unless otherwise stated. - - * To generate the fully patched source, in a form ready for - editing, that would be built to create Debian packages, run: - - make -f debian/rules apply-patches - - Note: It has been proposed that, in future, this should happen - automatically when you run dpkg-source -x on a CDBS - simple-patchsys.mk source package. However, this proposal has - apparently not yet been implemented, so for now you have to do - it yourself like this. - - * To modify the source and save those modifications so that - they will be applied when building the package, pick a - suitably informative patch file name, for example - 01_add_README.source_file.patch, and then run: - - cdbs-edit-patch 01_add_README.source_file.patch - - This will place you in a new shell in a temporary copy of the - source tree. Make your desired modifications to it, and then - exit the shell to create the patch file containing them (this - file will appear in debian/patches). - - * To remove source modifications that are currently being - applied when building the package, run: - - make -f debian/rules reverse-patches |
