[04:17] <syntroPi> i want to modify an existing debian package and add some patches to it: in the debian/ directory there is that rules file: when i add an patch/ directory to the debian/ directory which command in the rules file applies those patches?
[04:17] <Noskcaj> syntroPi, They automatically apply
[04:17] <Noskcaj> as long as debian/source/format exists
[04:18] <Noskcaj> with "quilt (3.0)" in it
[04:19] <syntroPi> Noskcaj, yes that file exists with "3.0 (quilt)" in it. but there is no debian/patches
[04:20] <Noskcaj> just make debian/patches. the rules file should see it
[04:20] <syntroPi> can i just create debian/patches/series with "mypatch.patch" in it and debian/patches/mypatch.patch?
[04:20] <Noskcaj> yep
[04:20] <Noskcaj> could you pastebin the rules file so i can check it
[04:20] <syntroPi> from which directory will the patches be applied? "debian/.." ?
[04:21] <Noskcaj> what do you mean?
[04:22] <syntroPi> are the patches expected to be relative to the <package_name> directory?
[04:22] <syntroPi> Noskcaj, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7714491/
[04:23] <syntroPi> its from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/e/easystroke/easystroke_0.6.0-0ubuntu2.dsc
[04:23] <Noskcaj> the patches apply to the top directory
[04:25] <Noskcaj> So you know, you're using an old version of the package
[04:25] <Noskcaj> 0.6.0-0ubuntu3 is the current one
[04:26] <syntroPi> oh well good i will check the differences, but seems there is no patch for my issue included there
[04:28] <Noskcaj> there's no real difference (it's just a rebuild)
[04:28] <Noskcaj> I'd only just checked
[04:30] <syntroPi> oh cool seems that works, too easy, should have tried that in the first place :-)
[04:33] <syntroPi> ls
[04:43] <syntroPi> Noskcaj, workes like a charm, thank you for your help
[04:43] <Noskcaj> no problem. ping me if you need any more help
[14:09] <geser> what's the current fix for code linking with -lgfortran where gcc is 4.8 while libgfortran is 4.9 and gcc not finding -lgfortran?
