dpatch | patch maintenance system for Debian source packages | Mehr ...
dpatch is an easy to use patch system for Debian packages, somewhat similar to the dbs package, but much simpler to use. . It lets you store patches and other simple customization templates in debian/patches and otherwise does not require much reorganization of your source tree. To get the patches applied at build time you simply need to include a makefile snippet and then depend on the patch/unpatch target in the build or clean stage of debian/rules - or you can use the dpatch patching script directly. . It can easily apply patches only on specific architectures if needed.
