Hi there, I'm facing an unusual situation. I'm already packaging sdlmame from a .zip upstream file. Well, you didn't know? Please review it: http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=259 :)
Now I'm considering to package another Mame derivative, namely WolfMame, which is distributed as a patch to the baseline code. I wonder what is the correct way to handle this: 1. I should download the sdlmamexxx.zip upstream tarball, uncompress and patch it with the wolfmamexxx.zip set of patches and finally build a wolfmame_xxx.orig.tar.gz *or* 2. use sdlmamexxx.zip upstream tarball to build a wolfmame_xxx.orig.tar.gz and then patch it during the package build process (ugly IMHO) *or* 3. add a patching system to my existing maintainer scripts in the sdlmame package and build another binary right from it *or* 4. I'm waiting for your suggestions, they will be highly welcome ;) Thanks in advance!
