#2 Re: How do I patch a Debian package Posted by JulienV (83.196.xx.xx) on Sun 25 Sep 2005 at 09:37 I would suggest that you have a look at dpatch(1). Basically, you just need to change the debian/rules file to use dpatch: - Create a debian/patches directory - Edit a debian/patches/00list file where you put the list of the patch you want to apply - Create the patch template using dpatch patch-template: dpatch patch-template -p "01_some_patch" "A random patch" \ debian/patches/01_some_patch.dpatch - Edit the debian/rules file: you first need to source the dpatch rules ('include /usr/share/dpatch/dpatch.make'), and make use of them (clean calls unpatch, build calls patch etc.) - reading man pages is really worthy is this case! Hope this can help. Cheers Julien
