stuff that I do

I also maintain some information on this page, as I really like the ease of use of wiki.debian.org:

todo for d-i powerpc

  • full install debian-edu/etch-test
  • floppy install oldworld
  • test dailys with 32mb on newworld
  • report memory limits for d-i powerpc for the manual
  • check subarch/model overview in manual

issues in d-i powerpc

and remember: chrp is newer than prep (generally spoken)

adding patches with quilt to a package

  1. add quilt to build-depends
  2. create debian/patches/ and put the patches there
  3. cd debian/patches ; ls > series

  4. add "QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches quilt push -a || test $$? = 2" to the configure target in debian/rules

  5. add "QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches quilt pop -a -R || test $$? = 2" to the clean target in debian/rules

  6. enjoy :)

adding more patches later

  1. export QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches
  2. quilt new 200-etc-olsrd.patch
  3. quilt add Makefile.inc
  4. vi Makefile.inc
  5. quilt refresh

svn, knowing the diff before updating

  1. svn diff --revision HEAD
  2. svn up

random stuff

  • :zi in vim: disable folding
  • ctrl-a esc: enter copy-mode in screen, useful to move around
  • dpkg --compare-versions 0.79-3.2~holger1 lt 0.79-3.2 ; echo $?
  • To put a package on hold: echo pkgname hold | dpkg --set-selections
  • To remove the hold: echo pkgname install | dpkg --set-selections
