Quoting Svante Signell (2015-01-09 09:06:34) > Cloning hurd git from debian > git clone git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-hurd/hurd.git > shows that no patches are committed to the git tree
That is unfortunately correct. The Debian Hurd package is patched beyond recognition, to the point that if you build a stock Hurd component and install it on your Debian system, the system likely breaks. Help reduce the pain by upstreaming the debian/patches. > How do you create patches from the up-to-date tree and submit them to > the mailing list? > - commit all debian patches in debian/patches in your local branch > - hack on new patches and commit them there > - issue git format-patch -o local_patches master I don't recommend that. Instead, hack on a branch that sits on top of the current master. Then, drop the Debian packaging bits from my repository here: http://darnassus.sceen.net/gitweb/teythoon/packaging/hurd.git Just clone this repo and copy everything to your git tree. Then build the Debian package. > - issue git send-mail --to=lists local_patches/ $ cat .git/config [...] [sendemail] to = bug-hurd@gnu.org cc = samuel.thiba...@gnu.org > - how to fix the patch ordering?? $ git rebase -i master Justus
