Re: Bug#581330: narval: FTBFS: No patches in series
It just occurred to me that it might be better not to use quilt at all.
Currently, you copy .gpr files from the installed Debian packages and patch
them locally with quilt from the upstream Makefile but only if the upstream
Makefile detects that it is running on Debian. A better approach might be
to:
- ship the patched .gpr files directly in the debian/ directory
- make the upstream makefile distribution-agnostic
- make the upstream makefile independent on quilt
- remove the build-dependency on quilt from debian/control
(this build-dependency can lead people to assume the Debian
packaging scripts use quilt when, really, only the upstream
Makefile does).
Just a thought.
