Re: [gNewSense-users] How to help with bugs?

[Peter and Jesse]

gnome_help2gnewsense.patch is for the yelp package. It changes the
tooltip for the help entry in the Gnome system menu from Ubuntu to
gNewSense. It patches over top of other patches. I assume that this is
normal; it just needs to be done last. gnome_about2gnewsense.patch is
for the gnome-desktop package. I actually couldn't get this to work. If
I patch it myself, it's builds correctly, but it doesn't work if I just
put it in the debian/patches directory. The problem is that it patches
the rules file, but the output from dpkg-buildpackage shows that the
rules file is built before any patches are applied. I'm sure someone
knows how to fix this, but I haven't been able to figure it out.
I hope this is helpful.
