Hmm, you don't detail how you make a change to upstream files. With quilt you should start from a unmofidied source, then: - create the patch: quilt new my-brand-new-patch - modify whatever you need with *quilt edit* (very important): quilt edit path/to/foo.c quilt edit path/to/bar.c ... - tell quilt to record the changes: quilt refresh - put source back to original state (also quite important): quilt pop -a - edit the patch header according to dep-3 (recommended). Either: * cme edit dpkg-patch my-brand-new-patch * use your favorite editor and run "cme check dpkg-patch my-brand-new-patch" I don't remember if you need to commit debian/patches/* before running svn- builldpackage. I'll let you try on your side. Hope this helps Dod
