Heya, > any easy way? Are there any books which deal with practical issues such as > these? > a lot of packages already use dpatch or quilt, which makes adding new patches to the build process pretty easy. If they're not used yet - adding the neccessary stuff to debian/rules is well explained in the examples. Have a look into the documentation which ships with the dpatch and quilt packages (dpatch is more simple to handle, but quilt is the better system - YMMV). When you package builds fine you send the created patches (see debian/patches/) to the maintainer and they should know how to apply them).
Hope I could help! Cheers Bernd -- Bernd Zeimetz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bzed.de/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
