I am trying to build my own version of a package and I am trying to reuse the existing package files since I don't know how to create them myself. Currently I am trying to build the diff for the source trio (orig.tar.gz/diff.gz/.dsc). The problem is that using the standard diff arguments diff -ruN doesn't work. dpkg-source -x returns an error for the diff line (the first one in the file) and for the file dates that diff adds. What are the arguments for diff to build a diff file that dpkg-source -x accepts? The lines that cause the problem (example for one of the file in the diff, each accurance causes an error): diff -ruN dri-mach64-sid-2003.09.29.orig/debian/XF86Config-4.radeon dri-mach64-sid-2003.09.29/debian/XF86Config-4.radeon --- dri-mach64-sid-2003.09.29.orig/debian/XF86Config-4.radeon 1970-01-01 02:00:00.000000000 +0200 +++ dri-mach64-sid-2003.09.29/debian/XF86Config-4.radeon 2003-09-29 23:24:29.000000000 +0300
What dpkg-source expects is: --- dri-mach64-sid-2003.09.29.orig/debian/XF86Config-4.radeon +++ dri-mach64-sid-2003.09.29/debian/XF86Config-4.radeon -- Micha Feigin [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
