Quick Guide To Patching This Package For The Impatient
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
1. Make sure you have quilt installed
|
||||
2. Unpack the package as usual with "dpkg-source -x"
|
||||
3. Run the "patch" target in debian/rules
|
||||
4. Create a new patch with "quilt new" (see quilt(1))
|
||||
5. Edit all the files you want to include in the patch with "quilt edit"
|
||||
(see quilt(1)).
|
||||
6. Write the patch with "quilt refresh" (see quilt(1))
|
||||
7. Run the "clean" target in debian/rules
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, instead of using quilt directly, you can drop the patch in to
|
||||
debian/patches and add the name of the patch to debian/patches/series.

Guide To The X Strike Force Packages
|
||||
------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The X Strike Force team maintains X packages in git repositories on
|
||||
git.debian.org in the pkg-xorg subdirectory. Most upstream packages
|
||||
are actually maintained in git repositories as well, so they often
|
||||
just need to be pulled into git.debian.org in a "upstream-*" branch.
|
||||
Otherwise, the upstream sources are manually installed in the Debian
|
||||
git repository.
|
||||
|
||||
The .orig.tar.gz upstream source file could be generated this
|
||||
"upstream-*" branch in the Debian git repository but it is actually
|
||||
copied from upstream tarballs directly.
|
||||
|
||||
Due to X.org being highly modular, packaging all X.org applications
|
||||
as their own independent packages would have created too many Debian
|
||||
packages. For this reason, some X.org applications have been grouped
|
||||
into larger packages: xutils, xutils-dev, x11-apps, x11-session-utils,
|
||||
x11-utils, x11-xfs-utils, x11-xkb-utils, x11-xserver-utils.
|
||||
Most packages, including the X.org server itself and all libraries
|
||||
and drivers are, however maintained independently.
|
||||
|
||||
The Debian packaging is added by creating the "debian-*" git branch
|
||||
which contains the aforementioned "upstream-*" branch plus the debian/
|
||||
repository files.
|
||||
When a patch has to be applied to the Debian package, two solutions
|
||||
are involved:
|
||||
* If the patch is available in one of the upstream branches, it
|
||||
may be git'cherry-picked into the Debian repository. In this
|
||||
case, it appears directly in the .diff.gz.
|
||||
* Otherwise, the patch is added to debian/patches/ which is managed
|
||||
with quilt as documented in /usr/share/doc/quilt/README.source.
|
||||
|
||||
quilt is actually invoked by the Debian X packaging through a larger
|
||||
set of scripts called XSFBS. XSFBS brings some other X specific
|
||||
features such as managing dependencies and conflicts due to the video
|
||||
and input driver ABIs.
|
||||
XSFBS itself is maintained in a separate repository at
|
||||
git://git.debian.org/pkg-xorg/xsfbs.git
|
||||
and it is pulled inside the other Debian X repositories when needed.
|
||||
|
||||
The XSFBS patching system requires a build dependency on quilt. Also
|
||||
a dependency on $(STAMP_DIR)/patch has to be added to debian/rules
|
||||
so that the XSFBS patching occurs before the actual build. So the
|
||||
very first target of the build (likely the one running autoreconf)
|
||||
should depend on $(STAMP_DIR)/patch. It should also not depend on
|
||||
anything so that parallel builds are correctly supported (nothing
|
||||
should probably run while patching is being done). And finally, the
|
||||
clean target should depend on the xsfclean target so that patches
|
||||
are unapplied on clean.
|
||||
|
||||
When the upstream sources contain some DFSG-nonfree files, they are
|
||||
listed in text files in debian/prune/ in the "debian-*" branch of
|
||||
the Debian repository. XSFBS' scripts then take care of removing
|
||||
these listed files during the build so as to generate a modified
|
||||
DFSG-free .orig.tar.gz tarball.
