Hi Slávek,
a simple way to rebuild a package with some added patch can be as follows - for example for tdebase: (...)
Thanks! I have never used source packages before - I see if I can set up that workflow. One
question though:
- Add required patches to debian/patches and list them in
debian/patches/series.
When you say "patches" does that mean patches generated using `git format-patch`? I understand this workflow would allow me to begin hacking right away, but I also want to be in position where I can easily submit my changes upstream.
You can use different ways to get patches. Besides the mentioned git format-patch can use git show _commit_ or git diff _commit_.._commit. Or if you will have a new modification, it could be a diff between git and your modification.
