Where do you go to find how Debian builds its packages? I know about the AUR
for Arch and Gentoo's gitweb.
Search for the package name on https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
When I was updating handbrake to the latest version to allow building on
15.0, I was hoping to find the ability to use system versions¹, but I
couldn't find any patches. It seems they existed with Debian, but my
google-fu was lacking.
When you find the package in the Debian search, click on the
version you want (the version you're packaging for SBo, if it
exists), and on the details page there's a "Download Source Package"
section... the debian patches are found inside the file with a name
like "whatever_1.2.3-1.debian.tar.xz"
Sometimes it's a .tar.gz, sometimes it's a .diff.gz, sometimes there's
extra components in the version number (dfsg shows up a lot), but you
get the idea.
The HandBrake patch I based mine on is in the
handbrake_1.5.1+ds1-1.debian.tar.xz tarball, as
debian/patches/0001-Remove-embedded-downloaded-copies-of-various-librari.patch
Hope this helps. I probably should write it up in more detail and
post it somewhere more permanent than this...
