I've talked to mvo and we decided that the best way to do this is to detect whether the patch already exists in debian/patches or whether it's a "local" patch on the filesystem that needs to be added. If it's the latter we copy it into debian/patches, add it to series/00list and then run edit-patch on it to make sure it applies and let the user make any edits that are required.
I've tested this patch on a couple of packages for each patchsys and haven't found any problems. ** Patch added: "edit-patch_accept_local_patches.diff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49812315/edit-patch_accept_local_patches.diff -- edit-patch should take an existing patch as an argument and apply it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/586787 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
