PROGRAM:
NAME
deb3 - convert debian source package to new 3.0 (quilt) format
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.
o dh_quilt_patch/dh_quilt_unpatch
o dpatch
o cdbs (simple-patchsys.mk)
o 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:
o Build-Depends: you should remove cdbs, dpatch and quilt. Instead, you should add
debhelper (>= 7.0.50~)
o Add override_dh_* targets to debian/rules to address special cases.
o 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:
