source format 3.0 upgrade



Hi.

Following the previous thread (I changed the subject so that the
documentation link is easyer to find): I cannot see why all patches
were not applied automatically. The build works on my machine with
debuild, the build log says that glib22 patch was applied by
dpkg-source. I send you the log so that you can compare.

I discovered quilt in
http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/howto/quilt.html#quilt_for_debian_maintainers

All I know about 3.0(quilt) source format is explained in
http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/DebSrc3.0

If you use a recent version of dpkg, all happens as if
QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches quilt push -a
was called right after the decompression of sources in the main
directory.

Note that there are actually two formats, 3.0(quilt) for packages
modifying an upstream (tar|bz2|…)ball and 3.0(native) for packages
specific to debian, without upstream.

Be warned that any changes substing outside the debian/ directory will
happily be stored as quilt patches by dpkg with only a warning in the
log to alert you.

Hope this will be useful.
