Hi (and happy hollidays)! I've written a couple of extensions to pbuilder. When my package gets installed, a file from the pbuilder package (/usr/sbin/pbuilder) must be modified for my extension to work. I'm looking for the "proper" way to apply a patch to that file.
I would like to patch rather than just replace the file because I don't want to overwrite any changes to the file that might come with newer versions of the original package. Ideally, I would even like to reapply my patch whenever a different version of the file gets installed by a new version of original package. How do I do this from my package's maintainer scripts? I thought I could use a diversion for the original file in preinst and then patch a copy of it in postinst. But where should I (temporarily?) install the patchfile? And is there any way to automatically have that patch reapplied when a new version of the original file is installed?
