The purpose of Doogie's Build System is to avoid - a difficult-to-manage Debian .diff.gz file by keeping our patches to the - upstream sources separate and applying them at package build time. Here - are a couple of targets that I have found useful: - debian/rules source.unpack Simply unpacks the source - archive(s); does not apply any - Debian patches. - debian/rules source.make Unpacks the source archive(s) and - applies Debian patches. - debian/rules checksource Unpacks the source archive(s), - applies Debian patches, and ensures - that the patches applied cleanly. +This package uses DBS, the Debian Build System. +Interesting targets supported by the debian/rules file include: + + debian/rules setup Completely unpacks and patches the source.
