SYNOPSIS
deb3 [quilt|dpatch|0|1|2]
DESCRIPTION
deb3 converts debian source packages which use series of patches from 1.0 format to new 3.0 (quilt) format while adjusting contents in debian/patches. This is run from the package top level directory. If run without argument, deb3 guesses source structure. Following formats are auto detected.
- dh_quilt_patch/dh_quilt_unpatch
- dpatch
- cdbs (simple-patchsys.mk)
-
dbs (dbs-build.mk)
ARGUMENT
You can force particular conversion using argument.
- quilt
- conversion for dh_quilt_patch/dh_quilt_unpatch
- dpatch
- conversion for dpatch
- 0
- conversion for dbs and cdbs made with -p 0 patches (default)
- 1
- conversion for dbs and cdbs made with -p 1 patches
- 2
-
conversion for dbs and cdbs made with -p 2 patches
TERMINATING THE CONVERSION
This deb3 program only provides a starting point. After its execution, further modifications are needed to your package. Typical changes are:
- Build-Depends: you should remove cdbs, dpatch and quilt. Instead, you should add debhelper (>= 7.0.50~)
- Add override_dh_* targets to debian/rules to address special cases.
-
Remove
--with quilt
from the debian/rules, if it uses the
dh $@
syntax.
You can find tutorial for packaging using this new dh $@ style and new 3.0 (quilt) source format in the maint-guide package. It is also available at:
