unapply-patches in d/source/(local)-options?
Hi,
when working with source format 3.0 (quilt) and gbp, I have found
dpkg-source's behavior about applying patches a bit confusing.
In the git working copy, patches are not applied. They get applied by
gbp buildpackare before building the package and then backed out
afterwards. Right? I usually have export-dir set in my .gbp.conf, which
changes gbp buildpackage's behavior: A git export is made to a temporary
subdirectory of the export-dir, patches get applied, the package is
built there and the temporary directory is deleted.
When I take the source package and dpkg-source -x it, the patches get
applied. Therefore an unpackaged source package looks different from
what I have in a git working copy. I find this confusing.
I understand that it should be possible to influence this by putting
"unapply-patches" into debian/source/options, but that doesn't seem to
change dpkg-source -x's behavior at all: patches are still applied after
unpacking the source package. Same happens when I put "unapply-patches"
into debian/source/local-option, since that file doesn't end up in the
source pakage at all.
Can somebody explain what is going on here and what is the recommended
package (sub)format when one uses gbp?
Greetings
Marc
