diff2patches - Extract non-debian/ patches from .diff.gz files
Contents
Description
Extracts patches from .diff.gz which apply to files outside the “debian/” directory scope. A patch is
created for each modified file. Each patch is named according to the path of the modified file, with “/”
replaced by “___”, and an extension of “.patch”.
Environment Variables
DEB_PATCHES
When defined and points to an existing directory, patches are extracted in that directory and not
under “debian/” nor “debian/patches/”.
Files
debian/control
Existence of this file is tested before any patch is extracted.
debian/debian/patches/
Patches are extracted to one of these directories. “debian/patches/” is preferred, if it exists.
If DEB_PATCHES is present in the environment, it will override this behavior (see “ENVIRONMENT
VARIABLES” section below).
