1) Create your package, without modifying any of the upstram source (if
the upstream source was already modified, continue anyway, following
path 3b).
2) Modify debian/rules to include dpatch (see dpatch.make manpage)
Here debian/rules originally looks like:
build:
${MAKE}
clean:
${MAKE} clean
You change debian/rules to the following by the editor to use dpatch:
include /usr/share/dpatch/dpatch.make
build: patch
${MAKE}
clean: clean-patched unpatch
clean-patched:
${MAKE} clean
3a) If no upstream changes have been made, then edit the patch:
dpatch-edit-patch patch 01_patchname
This will drop you into a new shell where you can edit any files you
want to change, and when you exit the shell your changes will be put
into the patch you specified.
3b) If upstream changes have already been made, then extract them into
a patch:
dpatch-convert-diffgz 01 patchname
4) Add 01_patchname to debian/patches/00list:
01_patchname
Hope this helps. It would have helped me. ;-)
