This was very helpful, so now is the time for two strategic questions.
1. I suggest to let "src:freebsd-utils" build a new binary
package "freebsd-quota". Would this naming be acceptable?
At present I have modifications to the rules file of "src:freebsd-utils"
in version 8.1-3.1, and corresponding minimal patches to build the binaries
/sbin/quotacheck
/usr/bin/quota
/usr/sbin/edquota
/usr/sbin/quotaon (and trivially `quotaoff')
/usr/sbin/repquota
Still missing is `/libexec/rpc.rquota' before the package content would
complete as seen to binary executables. In order compile these, I need to
include from upstream FreeBSD
libexec/rpc.rquotad
sbin/fsck
sbin/fsck_ffs
sbin/quotacheck
usr.bin/quota
usr.sbin/edquota
usr.sbin/quotaon
usr.sbin/repquota
2. Since I need to mend seven of these (only `quotaon' is flawless),
is there some subdivision of patches according to directories that
best fits the customs of this group of developers? I prefer to get
to know such practice already now in order to lessen your later
peer review labour.
Best regards,
Mats Erik Andersson, DM
