Package: dpatch Version: 2.0.38+nmu1 Architecture: all Maintainer: Gergely Nagy Installed-Size: 191 Depends: bash (>= 3.0-6), dpkg-dev, perl Recommends: fakeroot, patchutils Suggests: curl Section: vcs Priority: optional Multi-Arch: foreign Description: patch maintenance system for Debian source packages dpatch is an easy to use patch system for Debian packages, somewhat similar to the dbs package, but much simpler to use. . It lets you store patches and other simple customization templates in debian/patches and otherwise does not require much reorganization of your source tree. To get the patches applied at build time you simply need to include a makefile snippet and then depend on the patch/unpatch target in the build or clean stage of debian/rules - or you can use the dpatch patching script directly. . It can easily apply patches only on specific architectures if needed.
