Changes are stored in the source package as diffs in +debian/patches and applied during the build. + +To get the fully patched source after unpacking the source package, cd to +the root level of the source package and run: + + quilt push -a + +The last patch listed in debian/patches/series will become the current +patch. + +To add a new set of changes, first run quilt push -a, and then run: + + quilt new <patch> + +where <patch> is a descriptive name for the patch, used as the filename in +debian/patches. Then, for every file that will be modified by this patch, +run: + + quilt add <file> + +before editing those files. You must tell quilt with quilt add what files +will be part of the patch before making changes or quilt will not work +properly. After editing the files, run: + + quilt refresh + +to save the results as a patch. + +Alternately, if you already have an external patch and you just want to +add it to the build system, run quilt push -a and then: + + quilt import -P <patch> /path/to/patch + quilt push -a + +(add -p 0 to quilt import if needed). <patch> as above is the filename to +use in debian/patches. The last quilt push -a will apply the patch to +make sure it works properly. + +To remove an existing patch from the list of patches that will be applied, +run: + + quilt delete <patch> + +You may need to run quilt pop -a to unapply patches first before running +this command. + |
