DEBDIFF-APPLY(1) General Commands Manual DEBDIFF-APPLY(1) NAME debdiff-apply - apply a debdiff to a Debian source package SYNOPSIS debdiff-apply [options] [orig_dsc_or_dir] [patch_file] debdiff-apply [options] < [patch_file] DESCRIPTION debdiff-apply takes a patchfile that describes the differences between two Debian source packages old and new, and applies it to a target De- bian source package orig. orig could either be the same as old or it could be different. patch- file is expected to be a unified diff between two Debian source trees, as what debdiff(1) normally generates. Any changes to debian/changelog are dealt with specially, to avoid the conflicts that changelog diffs typically produce when applied naively. The exact behaviour may be tweaked in the future, so one should not rely on it. If patchfile does not apply to orig, even after the special-casing of debian/changelog, no changes are made and debdiff-apply(1) will exit with a non-zero error code. ARGUMENTS orig_dsc_or_dir Target to apply the patch to. This can either be an unpacked source tree, or a .dsc file. In the former case, the directory is modified in-place; in the latter case, a second .dsc is cre- ated. Default: . patch_file Patch file to apply, in the format output by debdiff(1). De- fault: /dev/stdin OPTIONS -h, --help show this help message and exit -v, --verbose Output more information -c CHANGELOG, --changelog CHANGELOG Path to debian/changelog; default: debian/changelog -D DISTRIBUTION, --distribution DISTRIBUTION Distribution to use, if the patch doesn't already contain a changelog; default: experimental --repl Run the python REPL after processing. --source-version Don't apply the patch; instead print out the version of the package that it is supposed to be applied to, or nothing if the patch does not specify a source version. --target-version Don't apply the patch; instead print out the new version of the package debdiff-apply(1) would generate, when the patch is ap- plied to the the given target package, as specified by the other arguments. For .dsc patch targets: --no-clean Don't clean temporary directories after a failure, so you can examine what failed. --quilt-refresh If the building of the new source package fails, try to refresh patches using quilt(1) then try building it again. -d DIRECTORY, --directory DIRECTORY Extract the .dsc into this directory, which won't be cleaned up after debdiff-apply(1) exits. If not given, then it will be ex- tracted to a temporary directory.
