Patches

(Debian packages with these patches are available here)

patch for Linux's scripts/package/builddeb
Better, more robust "builddeb" script for "make deb-pkg".
- Test if the required tools (dpkg-deb and fakeroot) are available.
- Obtain real user name and $EMAIL, if available, rather than just "user@host.domain".
- Don't overwrite debian/changelog and debian/control files if they already exist.
- Package is named "linux-image-$version" and provides "linux-image" and other virtual packages.
- Wrap "dpkg-deb --build" with fakeroot, because actually running "make deb-pkg" as root or with fakeroot causes a few files to be rebuilt and the userid of the true kernel compiler to be lost.
patch for Linux's scripts/kconfig/Makefile
This patch is needed to build on Debian AMD64, where libraries are in "lib" rather that "lib64".
patch for apt-proxy 1.3.6
- Change "stat -l" to "stat -L" to silence a warning with coreutils' stat; therefore, suggest coreutils instead of stat. (closes: #219049)
- Depend on dash, not ash. (closes: #161448)
patch for gtml 3.5.4-1
- Add new command "#includeliteral"
patch for nicotine 1.0.8rc1
- Fix problem with the color settings: if the color name was empty (for example, because you clicked "Default"), the color selection box would not appear (closes: #293925).
patch for util-linux 2.12
- JFS recognition. (am I the only one who likes this feature?)
- ReiserFS label recognition.
(patch accepted into util-linux 2.12m)
patch for obex_test (OpenOBEX example application)
- Add command-line help (-?).
- Add interactive commands help.
- Show progress with dots, not lots of "Made some progress..." messages.
