Keeping the changes as separate + patches under the control of a patch system allows for more fine grained + control over them. The package will also more easily support possible + future source package formats if all changes outside the <code>debian</code> + directory are stored as patches. + . + If the diff only creates new files that can be copied into place by the + package build rules, consider putting them in the <code>debian</code> + directory rather than using a patch system. |
