To setup the +source, run "debian/rules setup". This will extract the pristine source in +build-dir/, apply patches from debian/patches/ and split the package +scripts from debian/packages.d/ into their component files. + +A few cavaets. Modifying the source in build-tree/ or the package files in +debian/, will not be preserved after the "clean" target is run. Actual +files for packages are in debian/packages.d/ and will be regerated after +being modified. + +To create patches for the source, you can remember several steps. There +are two targes for handling source. The "unpack" target, will simply +unpack the tarball(s) into build-tree/ and "patch" will apply all patches +from debian/patches/. If you make any changes you can generate a new patch +using the "make_patch" target. This will move your current sources under +build-tree/, unpack the source+patches again, and then generate a diff +between the two. Note, you should run the "clean" target in the +build-tree/ source before doing this, to get a clean patch. + +Ben |
