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. diff --git a/debian/control b/debian/control index b71eb688..3f35ffa8 100644 --- a/debian/control +++ b/debian/control @@ -15,7 +15,8 @@ Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 9.0.0), libgnomekbd-dev, libibus-1.0-dev (>= 1.5.0), libbamf3-dev, - python-support + python-support, + quilt Standards-Version: 3.9.4 Homepage: https://code.launchpad.net/indicator-keyboard # If you aren't a member of ~indicator-applet-developers but need to upload |
