In section 3.9, I felt lost when finding out the version to inser in pbuilder-dist <release> build ../<package>_<version>.dsc
I looked this up in the debian/changelog file, and it seemed I should use 1:4.5-1ubuntu4 here. pbuilder-dist cosmic build ../shadow_1:.dsc -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Packaging Guide Team, which is subscribed to Ubuntu Packaging Guide. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1805976 Title: Fix discontinuity in chapter 3, "Fixing a bug" Status in Ubuntu Packaging Guide: New Bug description: Wanting to learn how to package software for ubuntu, I have followed the "Ubuntu Packaging Guide", chapters 1, 2 and 3, and in chapter 3 I have to stop following the guide because it does not explain in enough detail what I need to do next. I have taken the suggestion and found a bug to work on in the "bitesize" bugs and selected #590300. I have pulled the source with pull-lp-source shadow cosmic which creates several files and one directory in my current directory. The next instruction in the packaging guide is to run edit-patch 99-new-patch quote: "This will copy the packaging to a temporary directory. You can now edit files with a text editor or apply patches from upstream..." What is missing: The guide does not tell me from which directory I should run this command. It does not tell me if 99-new-patch is always the name that I should use, or if I should chose a different name, and how to choose a name. It does not tell me what it means with "the packaging" that is copied. And it does not explain that this command drops me in another shell when executed from the newly created directory, and probably continues its work when I exit from this shell, which I only discovered while writing this bug report after having given up already.
