[01:39] <st13g> Hi, is someone there?
[02:20] <amurray> st13g: hello
[02:21] <st13g> hi amurray , can you help me with this issue, i'm kinda new making patches
[02:22] <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?)
[02:23] <st13g> and I couldnt find any documentation related to this in https://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/fixing-a-bug.html
[02:24] <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?)
[02:30] <st13g> dont worry amurray i'll be waiting for you
[02:31] <st13g> like you said when i issue what-patch it prompted this -->patchless?
[02:32] <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?

[03:55] <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
[04:05] <crisdel> thanks amurray
[04:11] <amurray> crisdel: no worries
[04:32] <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"
[04:36] <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
[10:55] <yurtesen> How does one make a change to a package which changes a file inside the `debian` folder of the package source?
[10:56] <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
[10:57] <yurtesen> thanks, that explains why I get errors building the package after making a patch :D

[19:13] <Eickmeyer> crisdel: support is in #ubuntu
[21:30] <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
