This package uses dpatch in order to apply patches to the upstream
source.
Patches are stored in debian/patches and their filenames usually end in
.dpatch .
For further details, see the man pages for dpatch and dpatch-edit-patch.
All commands described below should be run from the top directory of the
package source tree, unless otherwise stated.
* To generate the fully patched source, in a form ready for
editing, that would be built to create Debian packages, run:
dpatch apply-all
Note: This should happen automatically when you run
dpkg-source -x on a dpatch source package.
* To modify the source and save those modifications so that
they will be applied when building the package, pick a
suitably informative patch file name, for example
01_add_README.source_file.dpatch, and then run:
dpatch-edit-patch 01_add_README.source_file.dpatch
This will place you in a new shell in a temporary copy of the
source tree. Make your desired modifications to it, and then
exit the shell to create the patch file containing them (this
file will appear in debian/patches).
* To remove source modifications that are currently being
applied when building the package, run:
dpatch unapply-all
