Bug#679676: Please convert to 3.0 (quilt) format
Package: libnss-db
Version: 2.2.3pre1-4
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
the libnss-db package already uses quilt as patch system. So it makes
sense to convert the package to 3.0 (quilt) format.
Three things need to be done for this:
1) refresh patches
- download the package and build it once to get all patches applied
- quilt refresh && quilt pop
- repeat till no more patches are applied
- quilt push -a
This might be optional. There is some fuzz in the patches and dpkg 3.0
(quilt) can be stricter than plain quilt in how much fuzz it allows.
2) switch format
- mkdir debian/source
- echo '3.0 (quilt)' >debian/source/format
3) add patch for po/Makevars
- dpkg --comit
This file is currently modified by way of the diff.gz instead of
through a patch. Must have slipped through the cracks somewhere in
the past.
MfG
Goswin
