Hi, >This sounds great, but can you describe to a newbie how to convert it?
>Does git-buildpackage have an option to handle this? do the change on the source, dpkg-source --commit end. or wget of the patch file (upstream or whatever) or git format-patch of the patch add-patch filename.patch. end. quilt push and quilt pop are useful to test the patches (and refresh for refreshing them) >I would like to perform the conversion to a non-quilt patch and >re-upload the package (to learn something). the patch is and will be in quilt mode. just you don't have to manually call it, but dpkg-buildpackage will do it for you (and somewhere is written that quilt is not needed as dependency) cheers, G.
