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

todo for debian-edu

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 :)

Example for a python package "cython":

configure/cython::
    QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches quilt push -a || test $$? = 2

clean::
    QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches quilt pop -a -R || test $$? = 2

Another option is to just use

include /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make

instead of 4. and 5, and then make the "clean" target depend on the "unpatch" one:

clean: unpatch

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

How to use it with svn-buildpackage:

  1. /usr/share/svn-buildpackage/contrib/svn-do (better, put it in your PATH)
  2. work with patches as described above
  3. exit 0

svn, knowing the diff before updating

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

usertags

random stuff

fix bashisms

old powerpc stuff

i lost interest in doing powerpc stuff in debian, so i moved this down, to at least keep this here.

todo for d-i powerpc
