Re: How can I build Debian packages that incorporate local modifications?

 

Here's what I do when I build a patched debian client package for 6.0.4, I hope it helps you :
* dch -v 6.0.4-something to add a debian changelog entry and bump version
* modify the version number in setup.nsi bin/release.py to 6.0.4-something
* to keep dpkg-buildpackage from complaining that the branch contains non-debianized patches : cd client ; tar -cjf ../openerp-client_6.0.4.orig.tar.bz2 *
* dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc

If there isn't a chapter regarding this in the docs, it would be a quite welcome addition.
