Then, for every file that will be modified by this patch, +run: + + quilt add <file> + +before editing those files. You must tell quilt with quilt add what files +will be part of the patch before making changes or quilt will not work +properly. After editing the files, run: + + quilt refresh + +to save the results as a patch. + +Alternately, if you already have an external patch and you just want to +add it to the build system, run quilt push -a and then: + + quilt import -P <patch> /path/to/patch + quilt push -a + +(add -p 0 to quilt import if needed). <patch> as above is the filename to +use in debian/patches.
