Creating patches for aports
After you did a checkout of the svn-sources you might want to add your changes to the apk-packages you build. (note: this applies to packages only to apk packages in aports directory)
The easiest way is the following:
- Go to the package you want to edit, for example dhcp:
% cd ~/SVN/alpine-builder/trunk/packages/aports/dhcp
Make sure you have the upstream precompiled binary package:
% aports/dhcp% scp username@deva:/var/www/localhost/htdocs/alpine/v1.3/binpkgs/dhcp-3.0.3-r9.bin.tar.bz2 ~/SVN/alpine-builder/trunk/packages/binpkgs
Clean up unpack the binary package as .orig copy.
% make clean && make orig
Make your chages
% vim work/data/etc/init.d/dhcp
Now make sure you have no stale files lying around like work/data/etc/init.d/dhcp~. Check that everything looks ok
% make diff
Create the patch directory if it does not exist:
% mkdir -p patches
Create the patch. It must has the .patch extension. Try to give it a meaningful name.
% make diff > patches/10-mypatch.patch
Rebuild the package with the patch.
% make clean && make
Test your package and verify it works as expected.
Add it to svn:
% svn add patches/10-mypatch.patch
You can send the patch(es) to the alpine-devel mailing list if you dont have svn commit access,
