Bug#819181: RFS: cl-asdf/3.1.7 - Another System Definition Facility

[Gianfranco Costamagna <costamagnagianfranco@yahoo.it>]

Hi,

>This sounds great, but can you describe to a newbie how to convert it?

>Does git-buildpackage have an option to handle this? 


do the change on the source,
dpkg-source --commit
end.


or

wget of the patch file (upstream or whatever)
or git format-patch of the patch
add-patch filename.patch.
end.

quilt push and quilt pop are useful to test the patches
(and refresh for refreshing them)

the patch is and will be in quilt mode.
just you don't have to manually call it, but dpkg-buildpackage will do
it for you (and somewhere is written that quilt is not needed as dependency)


cheers,

G.
