Re: HOW DO I Apply debian patch to original source?
Ok, I got the debhelper package so that when I do $ apt-get source wu-ftpd $ cd wu-ftpd-2.60 $ debian/rules binary It will build. Now here is the thing. When I look at the rules file It appears that it has a logrotate configuration on the install. So, I am thinking that I can comment out that logrotate, and use the way that slink rotates the logs to have them rotated. Would this be logical? I commented out the following line binary-arch: install-stamp dh_testdir dh_testroot dh_installdocs ERRATA README doc/HOWTO/VIRTUAL.FTP.SUPPORT doc/TODO \ doc/HOWTO/upload.configuration.HOWTO debian/FAQ install -m 644 debian/README.config $(tmp)/etc/wu-ftpd/README ln -s /etc/wu-ftpd/README $(tmp)/usr/share/doc/wu-ftpd/README.config install -m 644 debian/*.8 $(tmp)/usr/share/man/man8/ cd $(tmp)/usr/share/man/man8 ln -s addftpuser.8.gz rmftpuser.8.gz \ ln -s xferstats.8.gz xferstats.wu-ftpd.8.gz dh_installexamples `find doc/examples -type f` debian/*.es dh_installchangelogs CHANGES #install -m 644 debian/logrotate $(tmp)/etc/logrotate.d/wu-ftpd dh_installinit -r -udefaults 50 dh_installpam dh_strip dh_compress dh_fixperms dh_installdeb dh_shlibdeps dh_gencontrol dh_md5sums dh_builddeb brian On Tue, Mar 07, 2000 at 02:22:20PM -0700, Bob Nielsen wrote: On Tue, Mar 07, 2000 at 11:07:04AM -0800, Brian Lavender wrote: I am having problems installing the wu-ftpd package from source.

Get the *.dsc file as well. Put all three files in the directory you want to unpack in, and cd to it. Then run 'dpkg-source -x wu-ftpd_2.6.0-4.dsc'. You will need to have the dpkg-dev package installed. Frank

The easiest way is to add a deb-src line to your apt sources.list, something like this: deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free Of course, adjust to suit your preferences. Then you can just apt-get source wu-ftpd with a reasonably recent version of apt and it'll download, unpack, and patch the sources for you. The second easiest way is to download the wu-ftpd_2.6.0-4.dsc file in addition to the other two, and then use the command dpkg-source -x wu-ftpd_2.6.0-4.dsc. dpkg-source is in the dpkg-dev package. If I do a $ tar zxf wu-ftpd_2.6.0.orig.tar.gz You forgot to change directories here: $ cd wu-ftpd-2.6.0 $ zcat wu-ftpd_2.6.0-4.diff.gz | patch -p1 This'll have to change trivially because of the above: $ zcat ../wu-ftpd_2.6.0-4.diff.gz | patch -p1 -- finger for GPG public key. pgpLxjJFSbSaC.pgp Description: PGP signature
