Quick Guide To Patching This Package For The Impatient
|
|
------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Make sure you have quilt installed
|
|
2. Unpack the package as usual with "dpkg-source -x"
|
|
3. Run the "patch" target in debian/rules
|
|
4. Create a new patch with "quilt new" (see quilt(1))
|
|
5. Edit all the files you want to include in the patch with "quilt edit"
|
|
(see quilt(1)).
|
|
6. Write the patch with "quilt refresh" (see quilt(1))
|
|
7. Run the "clean" target in debian/rules
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, instead of using quilt directly, you can drop the patch in to
|
|
debian/patches and add the name of the patch to debian/patches/series.

The X Strike Force team maintains X packages in git repositories on
|
|
git.debian.org in the pkg-xorg subdirectory. Most upstream packages
|
|
are actually maintained in git repositories as well, so they often
|
|
just need to be pulled into git.debian.org in a "upstream-*" branch.
|
|
|
|
The .orig.tar.gz is upstream's mesa tarball.
|
|
|
|
While building from git, dpkg-source can complain about symlinks vs.
|
|
normal files mismatches. To work around this issue, before uploading,
|
|
and without committing:
|
|
|
|
find -type l | while read dest; do src=$(readlink -f $dest); rm $dest; cp $src $dest; done
|
|
|
|
The Debian packaging is added by creating the "debian-*" git branch
|
|
which contains the aforementioned "upstream-*" branch plus the debian/
|
|
repository files.
|
|
When a patch has to be applied to the Debian package, two solutions
|
|
are involved:
|
|
* If the patch is available in one of the upstream branches, it
|
|
may be git'cherry-picked into the Debian repository. In this
|
|
case, it appears directly in the .diff.gz.
|
|
* Otherwise, the patch is added to debian/patches/ which is managed
|
|
with quilt as documented in /usr/share/doc/quilt/README.source.
|
|
Thus, the patching system requires a build dependency on quilt.
|
|
|
|
Updating debian/upstream/signing-key.asc with new keys requires the following steps:
|
|
* fetch the key:
|
|
gpg [--keyserver $server] --recv-keys $keyid
|
|
* export it to the file:
|
|
gpg --export-options export-minimal --export -a $keyid >> debian/upstream/signing-key.asc
