Yes, I can work with quilt, but the problem is that after a checkout I
don't have the upstream source where I can change files for my patch.
And before build, I need to remove the extracted directory, or it will
refuse to build (IIRC).
Quilt itself is smooth enough, but I need upstream files to use it.
Can you tell me the steps you take to build a modified package? At the
moment my steps would be something like:
svn checkout ...
svn-buildpackage ...
cp -a ../build-area/package/[* except debian/] .
quilt new name
quilt add files
[make changes]
quilt refresh
rm -r [* except debian/]
svn-buildpackage ...
That's just from the top of my head, but I think you get the point.
There must be an easier way, right?
Thanks,
Bas
(And yes, I know dpkg-source has some stuff which is more
user-friendly for debian packages than quilt itself, but I haven't
tried that yet, so I don't know the parameters.)
