| st13g | Hi, is someone there? | 01:39 |

| amurray | st13g: hello | 02:20 |
| st13g | hi amurray , can you help me with this issue, i'm kinda new making patches | 02:21 |
| st13g | when I issue this command edit-patch 99-new-patch | 02:22 |
| st13g | the terminal prompts this ==> No patchsystem detected, cannot create new patch (no dpatch/quilt/cdbs?) | 02:22 |
| st13g | and I couldnt find any documentation related to this in https://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/fixing-a-bug.html | 02:23 |
| amurray | sounds like it is a patchless package - ie. one that doesn't use quilt etc - so you may have to patch the source files directly rather than adding a new patch (ie just simply apply the patch to source tree rather than using add-patch/edit-patch etc) - apologies - I have to run but will be back later if you need more help | 02:24 |
| amurray | (you can check by running what-patch - also what package is this for and for which release?) | 02:24 |
| st13g | dont worry amurray i'll be waiting for you | 02:30 |
| st13g | like you said when i issue what-patch it prompted this -->patchless? | 02:31 |
| st13g | and when u r saying apply the patch, there is a guide how to do this?, I mean I saw that there is folder located in /debian called patches, so do i need to create this folder manually? | 02:32 |

| amurray | crisdel: since there is no existing debian/patches folder you instead just apply the patch to the source code yourself using the patch command https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/patch.1.html | 03:55 |
| crisdel | thanks amurray | 04:05 |
| amurray | crisdel: no worries | 04:11 |
| crisdel | sorry to bother u again amurray, but when i issue this command "quilt header --dep3 -e", this is the output -->No series file found, so do i need to add the description manually? or it is not necessary,and I just need to issue this command "$ dch -i" | 04:32 |
| amurray | crisdel: no problem - the package doesn't use quilt so this is expected to fail and you don't need to use it - however since you have manually patched the package you should make sure your changelog entry contains a URL or something which describes where you got the change from | 04:36 |
| yurtesen | How does one make a change to a package which changes a file inside the `debian` folder of the package source? | 10:55 |
| amurray | you just change it directly - you can't use debian/patches/ as this is only for source code changes, changes to files in the debian/ folder have to be edits of those files | 10:56 |
| yurtesen | thanks, that explains why I get errors building the package after making a patch :D | 10:57 |

| crisdel | sorry Eickmeyer, but i was following the packaging guide with debuild, but I encountered this problem. and when I look in pbuilder folder i saw the .deb package, but the change I made to it, was not present in the package | 21:30 |
