Re: HOW DO I Apply debian patch to original source?
Ok, I got the debhelper package so that when I do $ apt-get source wu-ftpd $ cd wu-ftpd-2.60 $ debian/rules binary It will build. Now here is the thing. When I look at the rules file It appears that it has a logrotate configuration on the install. So, I am thinking that I can comment out that logrotate, and use the way that slink rotates the logs to have them rotated. Would this be logical? I commented out the following line binary-arch: install-stamp dh_testdir dh_testroot dh_installdocs ERRATA README doc/HOWTO/VIRTUAL.FTP.SUPPORT doc/TODO \ doc/HOWTO/upload.configuration.HOWTO debian/FAQ install -m 644 debian/README.config $(tmp)/etc/wu-ftpd/README ln -s /etc/wu-ftpd/README $(tmp)/usr/share/doc/wu-ftpd/README.config install -m 644 debian/*.8 $(tmp)/usr/share/man/man8/ cd $(tmp)/usr/share/man/man8 && ln -s addftpuser.8.gz rmftpuser.8.gz && \ ln -s xferstats.8.gz xferstats.wu-ftpd.8.gz dh_installexamples `find doc/examples -type f` debian/*.es dh_installchangelogs CHANGES #install -m 644 debian/logrotate $(tmp)/etc/logrotate.d/wu-ftpd dh_installinit -r -u"defaults 50" dh_installpam dh_strip dh_compress dh_fixperms dh_installdeb dh_shlibdeps dh_gencontrol dh_md5sums dh_builddeb brian On Tue, Mar 07, 2000 at 02:22:20PM -0700, Bob Nielsen wrote: > On Tue, Mar 07, 2000 at 11:07:04AM -0800, Brian Lavender wrote: > > I am having problems installing the wu-ftpd package from source. > > > > The whole reason I am grabbing the source is that I want to use a more > > recent version of wu-ftpd than what is available with the slink binary > > packages.

Re: HOW DO I Apply debian patch to original source?
I am having problems installing the wu-ftpd package from source. The whole reason I am grabbing the source is that I want to use a more recent version of wu-ftpd than what is available with the slink binary packages. If I can build the package from the source files to give me a slink compatible package, it is all the better. I update my /etc/apt/sources.list with http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free and then I did a # apt-get update $ apt-get source wu-ftpd and it retrieved the 2.6.0 wu-ftpd. It looks as if it applied the patch for me. I got an erro with the "debian/rules" binary though $ cd wu-ftpd-2.6.0 $ debian/rules binary dh_testdir make: dh_testdir: Command not found make: *** [build-stamp] Error 127 Do you know what this error indicates?

The easiest way is to add a deb-src line to your apt sources.list, something like this: deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free Of course, adjust to suit your preferences. Then you can just "apt-get source wu-ftpd" with a reasonably recent version of apt and it'll download, unpack, and patch the sources for you. The second easiest way is to download the wu-ftpd_2.6.0-4.dsc file in addition to the other two, and then use the command "dpkg-source -x wu-ftpd_2.6.0-4.dsc". dpkg-source is in the dpkg-dev package. > If I do a > > $ tar zxf wu-ftpd_2.6.0.orig.tar.gz You forgot to change directories here: $ cd wu-ftpd-2.6.0 > $ zcat wu-ftpd_2.6.0-4.diff.gz | patch -p1 This'll have to change trivially because of the above: $ zcat ../wu-ftpd_2.6.0-4.diff.gz | patch -p1 -- finger for GPG public key. pgpLxjJFSbSaC.pgp Description: PGP signature

Get the *.dsc file as well. Put all three files in the directory you want to unpack in, and cd to it. Then run 'dpkg-source -x wu-ftpd_2.6.0-4.dsc'. You will need to have the dpkg-dev package installed. Frank
