I'm using a debian package built by a friend and it works great however I need a patch he didn't so he told me to get his source, apply my patch then debuild.
So I downloaded his source package orig.tar.gz, .dsc, diff.gz i386_changes -- basically all files except the .deb and extracted the source, applied the patch and cd into the source tree and ran 'fakeroot debuild' and got $ fakeroot debuild debuild: fatal error at line 317: Cannot find debian/rules anywhere! Are you in the source code tree? What did I do wrong? Typically when I apply patches to src packages I just patch them and use apt-get -b source package but the version in the debian branch is way old. regards, justin
