-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
- break
- 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.
