Hello everyone, I am maintaining a rather large package and have decided to use a version control system (SVN).
I have already svn-inject'ed the existing package into my repository. Since the original source is (in its current form) not re-distributable (due to licensing issues), I decided to use mergeWithUpstream-mode and complement this with a patch system (most likely quilt). Now, when I (or a co-maintainer) check out the project from SVN, I get (as expected) a nearly empty project directory, containing just the debian directory. But, how am I supposed to actually create the patches that go into debian/patches? My current understanding is: I modify/delete/create a set of files and use something like interdiff/debdiff to extract the changeset. But in the case of mergeWithUpstream-mode there is no file to modify... Don't tell me I have to write patches "by hand" (-: Also, can you point me to a document that explains workflow with a patch management system in general, preferably in combination with a version control system.
