This package is a bundle of several upstream distributions, so it cannot
be updated in the usual manner (using uscan, uupdate, svn-upgrade, etc.)
Instead, you must check which versions have been updated using:
cd tarballs
./check-upstream-versions
(you must be in the tarballs directory to read packages.cfg)
When new versions are detected, download them into the appropriate tarball
directories using an appropriate tool, such as wget. Directory numbers
refer to the build sequence, so modules in 01 arebuilt first, then 02, and
so forth). Remove the old version (using svn rm) and add the new version
(using svn add). Adding new packages is similar, except there is obviously
no removal of old versions.
Lastly, you must update the control metadata files. If adding new modules,
you must corresponding data to packages.cfg or the tarball will not be
recognized. The format of the file should be self-explanatory and should
be updated when copyright information changes, when the upstream package
URL changes, or when the short description should be different.
By running the command:
cd tarballs
./check-upstream-versions control
the debian/control and debian/copyright files will be updated as needed.
This means any new packages will have their names and descriptions added
to debian/control, and the filenames and/or copyright data in d/copyright
will be updated accordingly.
==========================================================================
This package uses quilt to manage all modifications to the upstream
source. Changes are stored as diffs in debian/patches inside the source
package and applied during the build.
In order to patch a specific upstream distribution, the directory
debian/patches/$(Module-Name) has to exist.
Then run
export QUILT_PATCHES=patches
make -f debian/rules patch
and change to the module directory in build-area/$(xx)/$(Module-Name).
The symlink "patches" there should point to a directory in debian/patches.
You can now use quilt as usual.
Run
make -f debian/rules unpatch
to remove all applied patches.
