Re: HOW DO I Apply debian patch to original source?



Ok, I got the debhelper package so that when I do 

$ apt-get source wu-ftpd
$ cd wu-ftpd-2.60
$ debian/rules binary

It will build. Now here is the thing. When I look at the rules file
It appears that it has a logrotate configuration on the install. So,
I am thinking that I can comment out that logrotate, and use the way
that slink rotates the logs to have them rotated. Would this be logical?

I commented out the following line

binary-arch: install-stamp
     dh_testdir
     dh_testroot
     dh_installdocs ERRATA README doc/HOWTO/VIRTUAL.FTP.SUPPORT doc/TODO \
     doc/HOWTO/upload.configuration.HOWTO debian/FAQ
     install -m 644 debian/README.config $(tmp)/etc/wu-ftpd/README
     ln -s /etc/wu-ftpd/README $(tmp)/usr/share/doc/wu-ftpd/README.config
     install -m 644 debian/*.8 $(tmp)/usr/share/man/man8/
     cd $(tmp)/usr/share/man/man8 && ln -s addftpuser.8.gz rmftpuser.8.gz && \
     ln -s xferstats.8.gz xferstats.wu-ftpd.8.gz
     dh_installexamples `find doc/examples -type f` debian/*.es
     dh_installchangelogs CHANGES
#    install -m 644 debian/logrotate $(tmp)/etc/logrotate.d/wu-ftpd
     dh_installinit -r -u"defaults 50"
     dh_installpam
     dh_strip
     dh_compress
     dh_fixperms
     dh_installdeb
     dh_shlibdeps
     dh_gencontrol
     dh_md5sums
     dh_builddeb
