This package uses CDBS (and therefore simple-patchsys.mk) in order to
apply patches to the upstream source. 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
