What is the recommended workflow for creating/managing patches in
the Debian octave Group? Should I use "gbp pq" as described, e.g.,
here:
https://honk.sigxcpu.org/piki/development/debian_packages_in_git/
http://linux.lsdev.sil.org/wiki/index.php/Packaging_using_gbp ? Or
is there a better way?
Actually we don't use git to manage the patch queue. We just use
plain quilt, and commit the contents of debian/patches as files in git.
Given that we don't have so many patches, this appeared the simplest
way to us. Using gbp-pq seemed to be kind of an overkill. And,
moreover, when I tried it, gbp-pq would mangle the DEP3 headers of
patches.
Well, I have created my first three patches using gbp-pq, and I found
it quite convenient...
Anyway, I will now try to understand how quilt works.
