cups packaging for Debian ------------------------- cups is maintained with gbp-buildpackage on git.debian.org (see Vcs-Git: control field). gbp-buildpackage is documented at /usr/share/doc/git-buildpackage/ (in particular the comprehensive manual-html/). It uses a standard 3.0 (quilt) patch system. The really short path to get a buildable source tree is: debcheckout cups cd cups QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches quilt push -af The branches are named after DEP-14, so this means that debian/master should always point to the latest development branch
