<h1>11. Traditional Packaging<a class="headerlink" href="#traditional-packaging" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>The majority of this guide deals with <a class="reference internal" href="udd-intro.html"><span class="doc">Ubuntu Distributed Development</span></a> (UDD) which utilizes the distributed version control system (DVCS)
Bazaar for <a class="reference internal" href="udd-getting-the-source.html#branching"><span class="std std-ref">retrieving package sources</span></a> and submitting fixes
with <a class="reference internal" href="udd-sponsorship.html#merge-proposal"><span class="std std-ref">merge proposals.</span></a> This article will discuss what we
will call traditional packaging methods for lack of a better word. Before Bazaar
was adopted for Ubuntu development, these were the typical methods for
contributing to Ubuntu.</p>
<p>In some cases, you may need to use these tools instead of UDD. So it is good to
be familiar with them. Before you begin, you should already have read the
article <a class="reference internal" href="getting-set-up.html"><span class="doc">Getting Set Up.</span></a></p>
<div class="section" id="getting-the-source">
<h2>11.1. Getting the Source<a class="headerlink" href="#getting-the-source" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>In order to get a source package, you can simply run:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ apt-get source <package_name>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This method has some draw backs though. It downloads the version of the source
that is available on <strong>your system.</strong> You are likely running the current stable
release, but you want to contribute your change against the package in the
development release. Luckily, the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ubuntu-dev-tools</span></code> package provides a helper
script:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ pull-lp-source <package_name>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>By default, the latest version in the development release will be downloaded.
You can also specify a version or Ubuntu release like:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ pull-lp-source <package_name> trusty
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>to pull the source from the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">trusty</span></code> release, or:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ pull-lp-source <package_name> 1.0-1ubuntu1
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>to download version <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">1.0-1ubuntu1</span></code> of the package. For more information on the
command, see <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">man</span> <span class="pre">pull-lp-source</span></code>.</p>
<p>For our example, let’s pretend we got a bug report saying that “colour” in the
description of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">xicc</span></code> should be “color,” and we want to fix it. <em>(Note: This
is just an example of something to change and not really a bug.)</em> To get the
source, run:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ pull-lp-source xicc 0.2-3
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="creating-a-debdiff">
<h2>11.2. Creating a Debdiff<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-a-debdiff" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>A <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">debdiff</span></code> shows the difference between two Debian packages. The name of the
command used to generate one is also <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">debdiff</span></code>. It is part of the
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">devscripts</span></code> package. See <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">man</span> <span class="pre">debdiff</span></code> for all the details. To compare two
source packages, pass the two <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">dsc</span></code> files as arguments:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ debdiff <package_name>_1.0-1.dsc <package_name>_1.0-1ubuntu1.dsc
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>To continue with our example, let’s edit the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">debian/control</span></code> and “fix” our
“bug”:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ cd xicc-0.2
$ sed -i 's/colour/color/g' debian/control
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>We also must adhere to the <a class="reference external" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebianMaintainerField">Debian Maintainer Field Spec</a>
and edit <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">debian/control</span></code> to replace:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">Maintainer</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="n">Ross</span> <span class="n">Burton</span> <span class="o"><</span><span class="n">ross</span><span class="nd">@debian</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">org</span><span class="o">></span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>with:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">Maintainer</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="n">Ubuntu</span> <span class="n">Developers</span> <span class="o"><</span><span class="n">ubuntu</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">devel</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">discuss</span><span class="nd">@lists</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">ubuntu</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">com</span><span class="o">></span>
<span class="n">XSBC</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">Original</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">Maintainer</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="n">Ross</span> <span class="n">Burton</span> <span class="o"><</span><span class="n">ross</span><span class="nd">@debian</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">org</span><span class="o">></span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>You can use the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">update-maintainer</span></code> tool (in the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ubuntu-dev-tools</span></code> package)
to do that.</p>
<p>Remember to document your changes in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">debian/changelog</span></code> using <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">dch</span> <span class="pre">-i</span></code> and
then we can generate a new source package:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ debuild -S
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Now we can examine our changes using <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">debdiff</span></code>:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ cd ..
$ debdiff xicc_0.2-3.dsc xicc_0.2-3ubuntu1.dsc | less
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>To create a patch file that you can send to others or attach to a bug report for
sponsorship, run:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ debdiff xicc_0.2-3.dsc xicc_0.2-3ubuntu1.dsc > xicc_0.2-3ubuntu1.debdiff
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="applying-a-debdiff">
<h2>11.3. Applying a Debdiff<a class="headerlink" href="#applying-a-debdiff" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>In order to apply a debdiff, first make sure you have the source code of the
version that it was created against:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ pull-lp-source xicc 0.2-3
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Then in a terminal, change to the directory where the source was
uncompressed:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ cd xicc-0.2
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>A debdiff is just like a normal patch file. Apply it as usual with:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ patch -p1 < ../xicc_0.2.2ubuntu1.debdiff
</pre></div>
