Daniel: I'm unable to help you but maybe in the mentors list someone
give you a proper advice about this ;-)
I'm wondering when I should use quilt and git-buildpackage to modify
at least as possible the upstream version of Jarifa files. Let me
explain. Jarifa has a SQL file that by default creates the DB in
MySQL. Nevertheless, in the deb package this is managed by
dbconfig-common, so I have to remove the instruction of creating the
DB in the SQL file. Right now I have done this, by creating a new git
repository and modify the source code by hand.
After that, I kept reading about git-buildpackage and it seems that it
should be more easy to maintain those differences between the upstream
version and the deb one using patches. However, I don't know how I
have to do this, as I have been trying it out, and as far as I have
get is to create the debian/patches folder (using gbp-pq) with a patch
that removes that instruction. However, when building the package
using git-buildpackage in the master branch (not in
patch-queue/master) the resulting package does not have applied the
patch, which is wrong. Is it possible to apply automatically those
patches when building the package? (FYI I have tried the 3.0 version,
and I don't get it working either, probably because I'm doing
something wrong).
