Let me clarify: patches are not automatically applied when mplayer is built. To be more precise: currently mplayer does not use quilt , or any other patch-management tool. When you 'dpkg-source -x' mplayer, what you get in mplayer-1.0~rc1 is what gets built : there is no command in debian/rules that will alter the code. But, in these 12 subrevisions, I have accumulated many patches, so I decided that I will probably switch to using quilt - after etch is released, since my ignorance of quilt may very well provoke build problems. As a preliminary step , I catalogized in debian/patches all patches I worked on; but currently those are just there for documentation purposes. So you should ignore each and any file in debian/patches. This is why I submitted to this list a interdiff where I deleted all files from debian/patches . a. -- Andrea Mennucc "The EULA sounds like it was written by a team of lawyers who want to tell me what I can't do, and the GPL sounds like it was written by a human being who wants me to know what I can do."
