==================================
Quilt using package in your hands
==================================

This package makes use of a debian/patches/ directory maintained
with quilt. The integration of the actual patches in the build process
is done with the inclusion of /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make in debian/rules.


Modify this package
===================

You can still modify this package (e.g. for NMUs) through editing
the source but be aware that this might collide with patches integrated
in the patch system.

Since one of the patches strips linking flags from the configure and
configure.in files re-libtoolizing etc. pp. will result in build problems.


Modify this package with quilt
==============================

This is a small example to get you started with quilt on this package
and is far from beeing complete.

dpkg-source -x the package and change into that directory

// Set the path to the patches correctly so that quilt can find them
sven@marvin:/tmp/foo/tclcurl-7.19.0$ export QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches

// Check on the different patches available
sven@marvin:/tmp/foo/tclcurl-7.19.0$ quilt series
man-section
reformat-tclcurl3
correct-linking

// Apply the correct-linking patch, this will cause quilt to apply all patches
// stacked on the selected one first.
sven@marvin:/tmp/foo/tclcurl-7.19.0$ quilt push correct-linking
[...]

// Take a look at the current diff
sven@marvin:/tmp/foo/tclcurl-7.19.0$ quilt diff
[...]


// Open configure for editing
sven@marvin:/tmp/foo/tclcurl-7.19.0$ quilt edit configure
[...]

// Refresh the patch you're working on
sven@marvin:/tmp/foo/tclcurl-7.19.0$ quilt refresh
Refreshed patch correct-linking

// Remove the patch from your working stack
sven@marvin:/tmp/foo/tclcurl-7.19.0$ quilt pop
Removing patch correct-linking
Restoring configure
Restoring configure.in

Now at patch reformat-tclcurl3

This should be enough to get your modifications in.


Adding patches to quilt without actually using it
=================================================

You can operate without using quilt. You just need
to add a proper patch to debian/patches and add the
name to the series file in the same directory.
