Subject: [Trisquel-users] Compilation Question
Date: Thu, 9 May 2013 16:32:46 +0200 (CEST)
I have rebuilt kdelibs on Trisquel, incorporating one of the
Parabola
patches. Once I installed the newly compiled packages, Apper
notifies
me an 'update' is required, with said update wanting to replace the
exact two freshly compiled packages I had just installed. How can I
install custom compiled packages on Trisquel in way that Packagekit
won't immediately demand my custom compiled packages be replaced?
Would I need to increment the package version number in Debian/Rules
to resolve it?
You'll find the full answer in package maint-guide, it says admin and
install tools use the info in debian/control. You might find it
easier just to code a Trisquel package helper to apply the patch as
they handle all this easily and almost automagically, see
http://trisquel.info/en/wiki/package-helpers . Especially if the
Parabola patch would be of use to Trisquel, as then you could be
extra helpful to everybody else and put the git patch for the package
helper & Parabola patch on trisquel-devel and it might get included
in Trisquel itself.
